What is *Fascinate, Revised and Updated: How to Make Your Brand Impossible to Resist* about?

*Fascinate, Revised and Updated* by Sally Hogshead explains how to captivate audiences using seven psychological triggers: Innovation, Passion, Power, Prestige, Mystique, Alert, and Trust. The book provides actionable tools like the Brand Fascination Profile® and TurboBranding® to craft compelling brand messages, helping businesses charge premium prices and stand out in crowded markets.

Who should read *Fascinate, Revised and Updated*?

Marketers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders seeking to differentiate their brands will benefit most. It’s also valuable for consultants, coaches, and anyone aiming to amplify their personal or professional influence through science-backed persuasion strategies.

Is *Fascinate, Revised and Updated* worth reading?

Yes. The revised edition offers 60% new content, including practical frameworks like TurboBranding® and case studies from brands like Porsche and Twitter. Reviewers praise its actionable insights for turning brands into “irresistible” assets without large budgets.

How does *Fascinate* help increase brand prices?

By activating fascination triggers like Prestige or Mystique, brands can justify premium pricing. For example, Hogshead cites products that raised prices by 400% without changes by repositioning their messaging around core triggers.

What are the seven triggers of fascination in *Fascinate*?

The revised edition focuses on **Innovation** (newness), **Passion** (emotion), **Power** (control), **Prestige** (status), **Mystique** (curiosity), **Alert** (urgency), and **Trust** (reliability). These replace earlier triggers like Vice or Lust to align with modern branding needs.

What is the Brand Fascination Profile®?

This free assessment tool identifies a brand’s most persuasive advantage. By answering questions about your brand’s traits, it reveals which triggers (e.g., Innovation or Trust) will most effectively captivate your audience.

How does TurboBranding® work in *Fascinate*?

TurboBranding® is a 60-minute process to craft a brand message using Hogshead’s “message map.” It condenses traditional branding steps into a streamlined framework, making it ideal for startups or teams needing rapid positioning.

Can small businesses apply *Fascinate* strategies?

Absolutely. Hogshead emphasizes that fascination doesn’t require large budgets—only a commitment to lean into your brand’s inherent advantages. Examples include local businesses using Mystique via limited-edition releases or Trust via customer guarantees.

The Fascination Factor: How to Make Your Brand Irresistible

00:00

In a world where the average attention span has shrunk to just nine seconds-the same as a goldfish-how do some brands manage to captivate us completely? Sally Hogshead's research with over 700,000 participants reveals that fascination isn't magic-it's a science anyone can apply. The word "fascinate" comes from Latin *fascinare*, meaning "to bewitch or hold captive." When we're fascinated, we don't act logically. We buy things we don't need, believe messages we don't agree with, and make decisions that defy rational explanation. Our brains are hardwired for fascination as a survival mechanism-the most fascinating option wins, while everything else goes extinct. Though we've evolved beyond our cave-dwelling days, these ancient instincts still drive our behavior. Consider how we're born to be fascinated by faces-even newborns focus twice as long on facial drawings than on other shapes. Our brains have a dedicated region specifically for recognizing faces, which remarkably activates when young men evaluate favorite car brands, showing how we personify products we love. With just seconds to communicate, convince and convert, brands must captivate immediately or watch customers "swim away." We've shifted from a world where information was scarce and attention plentiful to the opposite reality. Your influence no longer depends on how much information you provide, but on your ability to get people to take action in an overwhelmed marketplace.
