Emotional Resonance

Great Customer Experiences are based on the


principle of emotional resonance. In this lesson you
learn three important things:

1) Learn why most Target Audience definitions and


Personas don’t help

2) Understand why the the start of a customer


journey is especially important

3) See how an emotionally focussed landing page


can boost conversions dramatically

1) Most Personas don’t help.
Most definitions of target audiences and even personas don’t help the
optimisers to improve customer experience because the most important
information is missing.
Resonance is really fragile.
It needs perfect timing…

…but if you do it right, it’s easy to lift a kid a couple of


meters high in the air!

- Small oscillations as input produce a large output.

- But it depends on milliseconds of the right timing!


Common Personas are not precise enough.
