When it comes to marketing, don't be color blind

I think we all know by now that color can effect your mood. Which can also effect your buying decisions. The people at Color Matters have accumulated massive amounts of data concerning how we perceive color and its impact on our daily lives. Take advantage of their research to help you improve the power of recognition and persuasion in your promotional signage.

1. Research conducted by the secretariat of the Seoul International Color Expo 2004 documented the following relationships between color and marketing:

92.6 percent said that they put most importance on visual factors when purchasing products. Only 5.6 percent said that the physical feel via the sense of touch was most important. Hearing and smell each drew 0.9 percent.

When asked to approximate the importance of color when buying products, 84.7 percent of the total respondents think that color accounts for more than half among the various factors important for choosing products. Source

2. Research reveals people make a subconscious judgment about a person, environment, or product within 90 seconds of initial viewing and that between 62% and 90% of that assessment is based on color alone.
