Color Psychology in Marketing | HubSpot

Color Psychology in Marketing | HubSpot | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

There's a reason companies test the colors of things like advertisements, banner ads, and call-to-action (CTA) buttons. When we did a button color test here at HubSpot, for example, we found that a red CTA button outperformed a green CTA button by 21%.

 

In other words, we increased conversion rate without changing anything about the page except for the color of the CTA. That's the power of color psychology in marketing.

 

Let's explore the ways color psychology plays a role in marketing, with a quick vocabulary lesson and a visual guide...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

How to Use the Psychology of Color to Increase Website Conversions

How to Use the Psychology of Color to Increase Website Conversions | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Color wields enormous sway over our attitudes and emotions. When our eyes take in a color, they communicate with a region of the brain known as the hypothalamus, which in turn sends a cascade of signals to the pituitary gland, on to the endocrine system, and then to the thyroid glands. The thyroid glands signal the release of hormones, which cause fluctuation in mood, emotion, and resulting behavior.


Research from QuickSprout indicates that 90% of all product assessments have to do with color. “Color,” writes Neil Patel, is “85% of the reason you purchased a specific product.” It’s a no-brainer fact of any website that color affects conversions. Big time.


So, the bottom line is: use the right colors, and you win....

What Every Marketer Should Know About Color Theory

What Every Marketer Should Know About Color Theory | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Color theory is the art and science of colors, our understanding of how colors mix, how people perceive colors, and the message the colors communicate. Are you aware that colors impact how one thinks and behaves? In fact, color ads attract 42 percent more attention than those in black and white. This holds true even outside the realm of social media and into print marketing. Prospects hold on to colored business cards 10 times longer than standard white cards.

Why Is Color Theory Important to Content and Social Media Campaigns?
When a prospect’s eyes meet a particular color, they immediately send a message to the brain. After a nanosecond of processing the information, the individual makes a judgment about what they see. They may be interested, bored, or repulsed.

Great marketers wind up testing multiple visuals to find the best option. However, this can’t begin without an understanding of the benefits of color theory in marketing.
