Get Your (Marketing) Halo On! Remember when your parents said you'd be judged by the company you keep? They might not have known the term, but they understood the Halo Effect.
The Halo Effect is a phrase used to illustrate our tendency to form a positive or negative impression of something – be it a person, a product, or a brand – because it’s associated with something else we feel positively or negatively about. How Can Your Business Use the Halo Effect? Your marketing or advertising campaign will be much better accepted by customers if it appears in an environment that the customers perceive as positive. From celebrity endorsements to product placement, a consumer's perception of a brand or product is highly influenced by where it is seen.
