Before planning any campaign, it is crucial to understand consumer psychology during key events for building effective strategies. See some of the key drivers that influence consumer behaviour during an event like St Brgids Day would be:
a) Cultural Pride and Identity:
This day is a celebration of Irish heritage and identity. The emotional connection to national pride and cultural roots is strong.
People are more inclined to engage with content and products that resonate with their sense of national identity, especially those living away from Ireland who might be seeking a connection to their roots.
b) Community and Belonging:
The day is traditionally associated with community gatherings and celebrations.
Consumers are drawn towards products and experiences that promise a sense of community and shared experience, such as community events, workshops, or products that are part of a broader cultural celebration.
c) Renewal and Fresh Starts:
Symbolizing the beginning of spring, it’s a time associated with new beginnings and renewal.
Products or services that align with themes of renewal, rejuvenation, or starting afresh (like spring cleaning products, wellness packages, or even financial planning services for the new season) may see increased interest.
d)Nostalgia and Tradition:
The customs and traditions surrounding St. Brigid's Day, like making St. Brigid's Cross, evoke nostalgia.
Consumers might seek products or experiences that remind them of past celebrations or family traditions. This can include traditional crafts, foods, or even storytelling events.
e) Scarcity and Exclusivity:
Limited edition products or services create a sense of urgency and exclusivity, compelling consumers to make quick purchases to avoid missing out.
Example: A jewellery store could release a limited edition line of pendants inspired by St. Brigid's Cross, emphasizing that only a small number will be produced.
