This topic doesn’t go by without acknowledging the adage that says

“Everything old is new again”

Nostalgia Marketing is a strategy where brands evoke fond memories of the past to create an emotional connection with their audience.

Remember when we all wanted to own blackberry phones, just to have a blackberry pin and communicate with fellow users ?

Well, brands are banking on the fact that you do remember and then use it to make you buy certain products.

Are you shocked?

This technique is simple.

It taps into your longing or desire for the “good old days”and the positive associations with some certain products, or experiences to gain your engagement and brand loyalty.

Voilà.

You want to know how and why it works?

I’ll break it down summarily.

Brands often create digital content that references past eras or reimagines old advertisements.

Nostalgia is like the comfort food of emotions.

Brands know that if they can make you feel warm and fuzzy about the past, you'll associate those good vibes with their products.

It's like how seeing an old friend makes you smile, except now your old friend is a brand selling you a pair of sneakers from 1995.

Nostalgia doesn’t care about age. Brands can make Millennials swoon over 90s pop culture while giving Gen Z something to ironically love on Instagram.

Nobody is left out.
