Humor is a powerful tool in marketing because it creates emotional connections with the audience, and can make your content stand out among others, creating a certain sympathy or complicity with those who are going to be your potential customers and who are, in fact, already your target audience. You capture their attention and make your message more memorable.
One way to use humor in marketing is through short videos, social media posts or memes that make your audience laugh while still conveying your key message. However, it’s important to make sure that humor is appropriate for your audience and that it doesn’t become the main focus, but is used to enhance your message.
A little humor, or even a little sarcasm, is always welcome, but it should be used wisely and not abused as a strategy, as it can detract from the seriousness and credibility of your brand or your offer. It is necessary to be measured and have a sense of convenience, so that it turns out to be something sympathetic and connective.
Humor can certainly humanize your brand and allow for a more genuine and natural connection with your audience. This ultimately converts into greater engagement and is a good hook for loyalty. But remember to keep a balance between humor and relevance in your content to get the best results in your marketing campaigns. The use of humor should be an addition that reinforces your commercial message, without hilarity causing the focus to be lost, because then the associated sales would also be lost.
