🧠 1 Marketing Framework:
Reciprocity
Reciprocity is a powerful psychological principle that revolves around mutual exchange or giving and receiving.
In marketing, this principle suggests that when a brand provides value or a positive experience to its audience, it triggers a natural tendency for the audience to reciprocate (return the favor), often in the form of loyalty, engagement, or even a purchase.
A classic example of reciprocity can be observed in the strategy of free trials or samples.
When companies offer customers a free taste of their product or service, it creates a sense of obligation and gratitude.
This act of giving builds a psychological debt, prompting the recipient to reciprocate by purchasing or showing increased interest in the brand.
🧑🏫2 Lessons From The Best Marketers:
Lesson 1: Law of 33% by Tai Lopez
One of Tai Lopez’s most valuable lessons is the "Law of 33%," which suggests spending time with people from whom you can learn, peers to share experiences with, and students you can teach.
Applied to marketing, this means creating content that educates, engages, and inspires your audience.
By providing value across these levels, you build trust and authority, making your brand more appealing and relatable.
This approach converts your followers into loyal customers by consistently offering content that resonates with their needs and aspirations.
Lesson 2: Understand Your Customer’s Journey by Ryan Deiss
Ryan Deiss teaches that successful marketing hinges on mapping out and understanding the customer journey—essentially, the steps a customer takes from learning about your brand to making a purchase.
He stresses the importance of crafting a marketing funnel, which is a strategy that attracts potential customers with general, valuable content first.
As these prospects show interest, you gradually introduce more specific information and interactions that align with their increasing curiosity about your product or service.
Finally, when they're sufficiently engaged and considering a purchase, you present them with a compelling offer that's hard to resist.
📱3 Ads That Will Blow Your Mind:
Ad #1: Love It or Hate It by Marmite
The "Love It or Hate It" ad by Marmite plays on the fact that people have strong opinions about the taste of their product - it's polarizing.
By using bright, contrasting colors and a clear division, the ad asks the audience to decide where they stand: do they love or hate Marmite?
It's a clever marketing strategy because it sparks curiosity and conversation, encouraging people to try the product to determine their reaction.
Ad #2: Because Life Makes Wrinkles by Nivea
The Nivea Men ad cleverly uses an image of a man's furrowed brow, where the wrinkles appear as an aperture that a woman is playfully diving into.
This visual metaphor humorously captures the idea that stress can leave marks, like wrinkles.
Accompanied by the tagline "Because life makes wrinkles," the ad suggests that Nivea Men's anti-wrinkle cream can help address these signs of aging.
Ad #3: Sugar-Free by Chupa Chups
This Chupa Chups ad cleverly showcases its sugar-free lollipop by featuring ants, which are typically attracted to sugary foods, deliberately ignoring the lollipop.
The image instantly communicates the product’s sugar-free attribute in a way that’s easy for anyone to understand: even ants won't touch it, so it must have no sugar.
It's a smart, visual way to deliver the message without saying much at all, proving that a picture is worth a thousand words.
