Our first must read digital marketing story of the week comes from Wharton where new research into how consumers make decisions finds that creating a personal connection with your product based on the time consumers spent with it has a stronger effect in their minds.
From the article:
"Consumers think more positively about the product because, with time spent, one becomes more engaged with [it] — [the product] must say something about you. Spending money is less personally connecting." "By simply directing people’s attention to time, rather than money, you can actually make people make happier decisions."
