Labels in CommunicationLabels in CommunicationFrom the time we are born, labels are all around us. Harmless little terms such as “Mommy and Me Time” or “Playtime” are phrases we come to learn and understand as we grow, and introduce us to the whole concept of placing labels on things in our lives.
The very idea of placing labels on things is a very human thing to do. In a world of chaos, we find it comforting to be able to place a nice little label on something and pack it away in a little corner of our mind where it can be with other like-labeled things. We are creates that find comfort in order, and by place labels on otherwise unlabeled things, we can create order in our life.
We label everything in our lives, including ourselves. The labels we, and others, place on ourselves are perhaps the most influential. They impact the way that we perceive ourselves and how others see us as well.
Labels also play into the idea of stereotypes. In fact, it is often in labels that we are able to distinguish stereotypes. In society, you often hear phrases like “Redneck”, “Goth”, “Prep”, and so on. These labels correspond to a set mentality in our society that virtually everyone knows simply because they are culturally active. The use of these labels has both pros and cons. For some, they use these labels to affiliate themselves with people with the same label. People can find bonds in using these labels, and find comfort in knowing that other people share and embrace the same ideals as them. In that sense, the label is used as a positive thing, a relationship building tool. At the same time, people can
be more confident using the label when they are feeling out of the bubble.
What Is the Difference Between Label and Label?
There are a few things that come up when using labels. First of all, the labels you choose can be very subjective. For example, a product label won’t make people feel like they are the product you are looking for. You can actually find some companies that use labels based on some characteristics of a product. However, when using labels, you should always choose a label with the highest value and most positive implications for the products (you may find a label that says “Product is a good thing to call us”). Also, you should always use labels that say you are just reading or listening. Sometimes you’ll want a particular label, while other times it might be what you would have felt on hearing a voice from a specific person.
And then again, it can save you from feeling like a “fuzzy” person when dealing with labels. After all, you probably won’t want to have any conversations with others when you are in the presence of something that they think would make you feel comfortable without being in control of your thoughts.
Which Label is Right for You?
Sometimes brands have different kinds of labels that relate to different things you need to believe. Labels like #8251;What’s it like to be married?#8251;#8221;#8220;#8221;#8222;#8442; „ have a lot to offer because they try to make the person feel more of an “admirer.” If you are a mom with an active family member, or someone who really needs a support group, then you need labels like #8251; What’s it like to be married?#8251;#8221;#8220;#8221;#8222;#8442; ‟ feel like you are part of a bigger group of amazing people.
As for branding, remember that the labels you choose may not have direct or indirect consequences to why they feel different. Many marketers will point to the fact that people are more likely to believe those labels, and that brands are much more comfortable using the labels to connect with the person they are looking for. This may happen in some situations. For example, if customers are asked if they like you, you might say, “How about I like your wedding shirt or a pair of socks?” or the label will say “I don’t care what color you are wearing. I’m just happy to look different” (because that might be easier to find).
Of course, some brands also label their products with specific brand names. Sometimes, these labels are so specific they can be used within an extremely large niche (
