What is Emotional Marketing?
Emotional marketing is used by booking.com to evoke emotions to increase hotel conversion.
Emotions help your visitors to notice, remember, feel connected, and trust. Emotional marketing typically works on specific emotions: like happiness, sadness, anger, or fear, to motivate a guest book.
