The evolution of marketing and why Branding matters

/*A THREAD*/
Marketing evolution went from:

Features - "What it has"

To:

Benefits - "What it does"

To:

Experience - "What you& #39;ll feel"

To:

Tribal Identification - "Who you are"
We moved from an economy of mass production to an economy of mass customization

We have a lot more purchasing choices

The competition copies each other& #39;s features as soon as it is released

We& #39;re now rich in information but not in time
That& #39;s why branding suddenly becomes so important

You have to find a way to differentiate yourself from competitors with similar products/ services

Features and benefits are still important to a lot of people, but not as much as personal identity
Our purchases choices are now more emotional and symbolic attributes based:

How does the product look like?

What kind of people buy it?

Which tribe will I join when I buy it?

What do other people say about it?
People should not only focus on the USP but also on the UBS - Unique buying state (of customers)

People like to feel like they belong to something bigger than themselves

People don& #39;t buy brands anymore, they join brands
