Touch as many of their senses as you can
The more senses you touch in someone, the more they’ll remember you.
The most sensory experience is a live show, with you sweating in front of them, the sound system pounding their chest, the flashing lights, the smell of the stinky club, and the visceral feeling of pushing up against strangers.
The least sensory experience is an email or a plain web page.
Reach as many senses as possible.
- Have some great photos that you use next to any text.
- Make a video for every song.
- Be a guest on every video-show you can.
- At your live shows, burn incense or hug every person there, or…
You get the idea. Keep aiming for the most sensory way to reach your audience.
its awwwwwsum
Derek...I think this is great advice. And it's also something that's brought up in song writing books. An argument calling this immoral is like saying it's immoral to make good tasting food. Music is supposed to be enjoyed and to touch people. It's not supposed to be bland. So if you give people enjoyable memories through music then the fact that they remember you is a good thing. Nothing devious about it. It's a win win situation for everybody.
as the matter of fact human life exit only because of these 5 sense and this really true we more we utilize them better or understand them better the more we can gain good result of any act. for derek i love the line "Let's say that “emotions” are one of the senses."
I think this picture is good to teach children with
One of my favorite TV commercials had an archer shoot three times: Shhhk, shhhhk, shhhk!
Then visually you saw an archery target with three soda pop cans impacting, for sense of movement. And surprise.
What was neat was that although pop sells by taste, the TV appealed to the sense of sound. And sight.
Then I guess came the cliche of the opening the lid sound, and fizz sound, and drinking sound. All cliches. But the archery sound was fresh.
I get it that Derek is offering a factual reminder, not advocating anything.
Meanwhile, for what Kate at 7, 8 is saying, I think of hugs.
My volunteer Toastmasters International club is probably the only one in my time zone where we hug hello, and goodby, instead of shaking hands. But when a new guest shows up, especially a male, I ask, "Do you hug?" If "no," then I shake hands strongly, like they teach in business books.
Unless the person is young or from the arts world. Then I shake more like an honest natural hand clasp.
I definitely would not want to go to a commercial venue where hugs were not voluntary but expected.
