NextStage Evolution, Sep 2007, Pages: 22
The Use of Colors and Color Imagery
This paper reports on the use of colors and color imagery in Direct Response Marketing and eBranding. It is based on original research conducted by us on how to use color in online marketing so that different demographic groups correctly interpret your marketing message. The research is ongoing and the purchaser of this paper will be notified when new research is complete and available.
There are two focuses to this paper:
- How color is used within age and gender groups and
- How color influences age groups and genders
This research is based on data from male and females with various lifestyles whose age span is 15-84 years old. The vocations used for the research include fireman, security professionals, biologists, authors, clergy and others. The research began by analyzing email threads from various authors, creating a base software filter that could determine the authors’ native language and culture based on specific language usage. This filter was then adapted to single out specific culture clues such as the sociocultural cues for color usage.
This paper provides useful and specific suggestions for transferring brick & mortar brands to online. These suggestions are simple, easy to implement and valuable to everyone. Companies with well established brands to those creating new ones will benefit from the information provided. Costly mistakes will be avoided and an increased ROI can be realized by following the suggestions outlined in this paper.
There are 20 figures which demonstrate the suggestions given. The paper, written in a light conversational tone, is not a scientific discourse on color refractivity and the affect of light on the iris (although 90 references are given for those so inclined). This paper takes the work out of understanding the science and translates it into meaningful uses for the real world.
