Are you worrying that your Marketing content is not A+ all the Time? Well you have Psychologists to thank for the "different is better" quote that will make your life much easier.   Standing out can be as simple as being yourself!   In a now famous test, Psychologists made people look thru a stack of photos (Yes we are talking printed photos.. #OldSchool) To see if the quality of photo made the image memorable or if Different was a better memory trigger.  I am betting you can Figure out which one won... (hint it's in the title) So save the content stress for later and be different! Best regards, Robin Baranov  Robin@NorthernVistasPhotography.com

What's emotion got to do with marketing? EVERYTHING!  It starts with the basis for all business... Humans!  Humans are first and foremost emotional beings, our brains are powerful... but without emotions we literally won't remember anything and being memorable is the only way to get noticed and grow our businesses.  To use this we NEED to know... Who our customers are. What their needs and pain-points are. What Emotion do we want them to remember us with. And last but not least, how we want them to feel once they've tried our product or service! As always I would love to hear from you! Robin@nothernvistasphotography.com
