Abstract
In today's marketing landscape, Emotional Marketing has become a significant strategy that surpasses conventional functional marketing by establishing a direct emotional connection with consumers. Brands and companies seek to form authentic emotional ties with the vast consumer base by crafting emotional stories and experiences rather than simply promoting products or services. The implications of this emotional connection on consumer behavior are immense. Consumers' purchasing decisions, brand loyalty, and overall interaction with the brand can be significantly influenced by emotional marketing tactics. The vocabulary used for this paper shall be subject-specific to ensure precision in meaning. This paper explores the mechanics of emotional marketing and how it shapes the purchasing behavior of modern consumers. In this thesis, a series of explorations of emotional marketing will take place, discussing some of the correlations between emotions and purchasing power, as well as examples of selling by influencing customer emotions.
