Essence of Customer Psychology

Many experts believe that marketing strategy that is driven by customer psychology includes everything, right from the demographic area to the educational background of the users.

Let us now understand what class of people you get to know with Customer psychology and how it will affect the marketing process:

The Loyalists

The people who tend to relate to thing or a product or a mobile app according to their past experiences can be termed in the league of loyalists. They tend to see the personal bond with the product not just as a benefit but also the base for successful future works. Therefore, for the organizations dealing with such type of customers must give them a description that is backed by personal stories, devoid of the stats, in order to make them feel good and wanted. These people tend to make their buying decisions based on their instincts, rather than going by the facts and analysis.

The loyalists are the prominent personalities of their group; hence it is necessary to woo them as they influence other people on a larger scale. Therefore, the organizations must look in for making the conversations more fruitful to rope in such personalities.

The Friendly Ones

These are warm, amiable people who tend to reach out to people in a calm and subtle manner. These people are bad at decision making as most of their decisions are based on their feelings. Thus, the app marketing process for the friendly ones should contain a proper mixture of mind and matter so that it can urge them to act accordingly. The amiable are not amused by a single call or text, so it must be a gradual building process for them. The app or product should bind their eyes and mind and only then, they will buy it or refer it to their near ones. This genre has creative people and thinkers; so the approach must contain such aspects that touch their sentiments. A similar marketing strategy by HotStar that lead to a whopping increase in the number of downloads is one of the examples of touching the hearts of the customers.

The Data Nazis

At last come the most dreaded ones, the Data Nazis. They think every perspective from the analytic point of view and are very certain about the previous data related to the product or mobile app. The marketing strategy that includes sales pitches or emotions have a very low chance to impress them as their decision-making process is based on their analytic strength. Practical knowledge about the product is their strength to achieve efficiency. Marketing fusion with scientific facts and technology is the way to enter their mind of these types of customers.

Conclusion
The marketers have to do a thorough research in depth to understand the customer psychology and implement it in the marketing strategy. But, this process is worth taking the pain as it enables them to understand the actual personality of the targeted customers and market their product according to it.
