Why should you design emotional sensory experiences?

When creating a message for your brand (event, company, or product), your ultimate goal is memory recall and advocacy from your consumers. Both your senses and emotions carry a lot of weight when encoding memory. If you can create a sensory experience that triggers an emotion, you are guaranteed to have a higher rate of recall. This is called sensory recall and is what we all aim for when creating a message for our consumers.

"There is a lot of value in taking 10-15 minutes or so each day to reflect on the question, 'How can I better serve?' It gets us in a great state of mind to start the day, and it can often lead to new ideas for better serving the people on our teams.

"To make this time even more valuable, we should make sure we have a 'How can I serve you?' meeting with everyone on our team."
