In this article, we will show how emotions have the power to turn the tables. We will then dive into how web push notifications can help you turn emotions into your click weapon.

Some sell by showcasing the features of the product, some sell by displaying the value, and then there are some that sell through emotions.

Let’s look at Coca-Cola for instance. It has been playing the emotional card and highjacking hearts for quite some years now. The consumers have become so connected and loyal towards their brand, that it could make their dog feel ashamed.

Emotions

From portraying itself as a cool drink, it has evolved into a bottle of happiness. Coca-Cola has been impressing users by letting users personalize, showering them with love and care, and giving them memories they can’t part with.

Here are a few examples of campaigns that made users love them to bits – Share A Coke, Share a Feeling campaignHug me campaignCoke happiness truck campaign Small World machine campaigns. Their campaigns are packed with emotions, and just like that, consumers start rooting for them.
