The Mere Exposure Effect

I also call this “The Brand Impression Game”.

What is it?

It takes between 6 & 27 brand impressions for us to feel comfortable with a new brand. The mere-exposure effect occurs when, after experiencing this high number of brand impressions, a consumer develops a preference for the brand.

Smart marketers strategically build a new brand using specific formulas & tactics like these to instill a false sense of familiarity. So instead of 27 brand impressions it may only take 6 or 7.


A few brands that play the “brand impression game” fiercely & consistently:

The easiest way to leverage the Mere Exposure effect is by retargeting website visitors with digital paid ads. The retargeting process, depicted below, can be used to collect brand impressions rapidly amongst your website visitors who did not convert.
