What are You Selling – Happiness or Love?



Success of your brand depends upon two factors Happiness and Love. Believe it or not, these two factors have the power to drive your customers towards your brand.  Yes, love is saleable and it can earn trillions in profit if you do it in a correct way. Same can be said for ‘happiness’ as companies are selling it like a hotcake and managing to earn a lot.

Why these two emotions are selling?

There is no denial that people love to be loved and enjoy their happiness.  Anyone who is offering or promising happiness or love then it is hard to resist or deny.  People or customers all over the world are looking for more happiness and more love in everything they see, touch, or use. Happiness sets people in a positive mindset which also means appreciating life and surroundings. If you can convert them into profit then nothing like it. 

But what is Happiness?

According to  Positive Psychology   – “Happiness is a state, not a trait; in other words, it isn’t a long-lasting, permanent feature or personality trait, but a more fleeting, changeable state.”  

There are other ways to describe happiness but it is  up to the company how long they can take to create that state of happiness for its customers and how long it will retain in their minds.

One of the best examples of selling happiness comes from CocaCola which you can read it here and they have earned a lot of praise because of this campaign.  Other companies have other ways of expressing happiness through their products or services to win the minds of their target customers.  

In short, if you offer happiness to your customers then you are selling and profits are bound to go up.
Promoting your business with happiness products or feeling that endorses can ramp up your profits by multi-folds.

There are different sectors like – tourism, hospitality, higher education, software, hardware ( think about high-end laptop, tab ),

Business of Love
Love is also an excellent business proposition. Take a look at the huge market of Valentine's Day.
According to an old report by FoxBusiness total worth of Valentine’s Day was around $20.7 billion ( in the the year 2019)
Another interesting fact of this year is in 2021, the average American plans to spend $164.76 on Valentine’s Day, down from $196.31 per person last year ( due to covid) but up from $161.96 in 2019, the NRF said.

Interestingly, men plan to spend more than double what women spend at $231 versus $101.

 Different segments like, chocolate, flower, food, gardening, pet and gifting ( of any form) are some of the examples of love themed businesses.

You need to decide first, in which category your business falls. Once you decide you are going to endorse happiness (or love) then you can think about the steps to express it to your customers.

Your customers should own that sense of happiness or love to enjoy your product or service.

So, what exactly you are planning to sell love or happiness?
