Data shows that emotional ads increase sales for high-price, high-quality products, while informational ads are more effective for low-price, lower-quality products.

The logic is straightforward:

• For low-priced or lower-quality items, consumers often have doubts. Informational ads that clarify features, value, or reliability help reduce uncertainty and drive sales.
• For high-priced, high-quality items, buyers assume a certain level of performance. So, emotional storytelling creates desire, strengthens brand attachment, and justifies that premium pricing.
• Emotional ads also tend to generate more buzz and online searches, even for lower-priced products, making them ideal for awareness campaigns.

Bottom line? If you’re selling affordable products, highlight what they do. If you’re selling premium ones, highlight how they make people feel.

De’Longhi’s high-end coffee machines are technically computers.

Well, they do process data, store information, give outputs, and run programs. They also happen to brew coffee.

Since U.S. law exempts “computers” from certain tariffs, LOLA MullenLowe agency rebranded the coffee machines as computers.

They took bitter tariffs and turned them into a whole latte brand flavor (sorry).
