— KahnemanThinking Fast and Slow

“The remembering self…keeps scores and makes the choices.”

— Diener et alEnd Effects

“Dramatic elements and endings are remembered, not the average over time.”

Lesson 2. The remembering customer dominates the rational customer

The rationalcustomer?

Or, the

Strong memories influence decisions

the new connected world,

the “We” world

BRAND EXPERIENCES

„wow“

1. Consumers are experiencing your brands in different ways everyday and these lead to impressions left

10

Experiencing a brand that creates „technology wows“...

Weren‘t you „wowed“ the first time when...

You first looked up

a word in Wikipedia

as opposed to your

“reference” Encyclopedia

Britannica?

You first read how a sports

game ended using your Newspaper’s

App on your mobile instead

of waiting the next morning issue?

You first got your Chemical

Laboratory results 24h by

email instead of 2 weeks

after you paid by post?

11

„Wow“ impressions can be changing our lives

“Wowing” via emotions with beer brands

SOCIALIZATION OF BRANDS

2. The Remembering Consumer interacts in the digital

world, and shares good or bad experiences…

WebBuzz on Twitter

can show negative!

The Remembering Customer may also kill your brand

14

CONSUMER

BRAND RELATIONSHIPS

3. These interactions and positive “wow” experiences lead

to increased connection between consumers and brands

15

Experiences drive personal relationships with brands

16

And relationships with brands evolve over time

Example of a personal relationship story with the brands Twitter and Facebook
