Brand Sense: Sensory Secrets Behind the Stuff We Buy

Brand Sense: Sensory Secrets Behind the Stuff We Buy

The definitive book on sensory branding, shows how companies appeal to consumersâ€™ five senses to sell products.

Did you know that the gratifying smell that accompanies the purchase of a new automobile actually comes from a factory-installed aerosol can containing â€œnew carâ€ aroma? Or that Kelloggâ€™s trademarked â€œcrunchâ€ is generated in sound laboratories? Or that the distinctive click of a just-opened jar of NescafÃ© freeze-dried coffee, as well as the aroma of the crystals, has been developed in factories over the past decades? Or that many adolescents recognize a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch jeans not by their look or cut but by their fragrance?

In perhaps the most creative and authoritative book on how our senses affect our everyday purchasing decisions, global branding guru Martin Lindstrom reveals how the worldâ€™s most successful companies and products integrate touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound with startling and sometimes even shocking results. In conjunction with renowned research institution Millward Brown, Lindstromâ€™s innovative worldwide study unveils how all of us are slaves to our sensesâ€”and how, after reading this book, weâ€™ll never be able to see, hear, or touch anything from our running shoes to our own car doors the same way again.

An expert on consumer shopping behavior, Lindstrom has helped transform the face of global marketing with more than twenty years of hands-on experience. Firmly grounded in science, and disclosing the secrets of all our favorite brands, Brand Sense shows how we consumers are unwittingly seduced by touch, smell, sound, and more.
