An affair of the heart, and mind

Article Abstract:

Just like television, radio, newspapers and magazines are media to transport a brand message, the consumerEs mind is also a medium that finally decides whether to buy or not. Eight forces act upon the mind after a brand message reaches it, including view of oneself, values and beliefs, aspirations, understanding, experience, imagination, functional needs, and image needs. Once a brand is accepted by the mind, it needs the approval of the heart. Thus, a combination of reason and emotion are the final clinchers.
