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.

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.

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....
