If we really break it down to a bare-bone definition (this is according to Rutgers University):
"Motivation is an inner drive that reflects goal-directed arousal. In a consumer behavior context, the results is a desire for a product, service, or experience. It is the drive to satisfy needs and wants, both physiological and psychological, through the purchase and use of products and services."
If you are going to be successful as a consumer-facing brand in a highly competitive space today then you need to be sharp, capable and motivated -- but also ready to roll up your sleeves, be scrappy and edgy.
Where do you start? Conduct a marketing audit. Are your marketing efforts tied to consumer motivational behaviors? A brand's marketing program should always, always, always be built around:
- Anticipation → The more we think about something, the higher we perceive the value to be.
- Scarcity → If something is limited, we feel that it’s exclusive and premium.
- Fear of missing out → We don’t want to be the only one who’s left out of the fun.
- Competition → When given the opportunity we want to win, not lose.
The results when this approach is taken are pretty insane, in a good way though -- a really good way, in fact. Here's a peak into a few stats of brands that used consumer motivational behaviors in their marketing efforts:
- 3X the demand than normal
- $325,000 in immediate sales
- 15,000 responses in two minutes
- $45 average basket size (up 50%)
- 1M+ minutes of brand engagement in a week
- 15,000 new customers acquired
