WHAT IS THE HALO EFFECT? The halo effect refers to a cognitive bias whereby the perception of a particular trait is influenced by the perception of the former traits in a sequence of interpretations. Plain English: If you like a company’s product, you assume the rest of their products are just as good.
TYPES OF HALO EFFECTS • Well-known companies are benefiting from three common “halo effects” • Values & Beliefs • Product • Health
VALUES AND BELIEFS ‘HALO’ • Companies may choose to endorse certain values that they feel will result in customers wanting to support a company with coinciding beliefs. • EX. Wal-Mart’s endorsement of Christianity
PRODUCT ‘HALO’ • Many companies capitalize on the success and assumed image of a certain product through sales of another that is perceived to have some of the same benefits. • EX. iPhone
HEALTH ‘HALO’ • Consumers sometime associate certain health benefits from all products of a certain company. • Promoted ‘healthy’ products may be available, while in reality a majority of the companies products may actually be “un-healthy”. • EX. SUBWAY
