也就是说，先喜欢，再判断值不值。 情绪价值成为核心，情绪消费正在成为全球趋势。 市场研究机构数据显示：中国情绪消费相关市场规模已接近2万亿元。 相关行业包括：潮玩、宠物、体验消费、IP联名、内容娱乐、二次元文化。 这些行业的共同特点是：功能并不稀缺，但情绪非常明确。 社交传播已成为产品一部分，过去，产品与营销是两件事。 今天，越来越多产品本身就具备传播属性。 例如，名创优品近几年快速扩张。 其增长背后的关键策略之一，就是IP联名常态化。 合作IP包括：迪士尼、三丽鸥、漫威、哈利波特等。 门店不只是卖商品，而是提供：拍照场景、收藏价值、社交分享素材。 很多消费者排队，并不是因为刚需，而是参与感。 情绪成为溢价来源。 另一个明显变化是：年轻人愿意为情绪支付溢价。 例如Jellycat 在全球范围持续火爆。 Jellycat 的毛绒玩具价格往往远高于普通玩具。 但在社交平台上，用户分享的是：陪伴感、治愈感、情绪寄托。 它卖的不是毛绒，而是情绪安慰剂。 三、为什么情绪消费会爆发？ Z世代消费观念的变化，并不是偶然。 背后至少有三层结构性原因。 1、物质丰富后的心理转移 中国消费市场已经进入供给极度丰富阶段。 大多数功 ...
