Being a business-owner, you too can take the benefit of these memory devices to help your product retain in the minds of your customers.

 

Types of Mnemonics


The following will help you understand and decide on the right type of Mnemonic that suits your product,

 

Music Mnemonics- This could be in the form of jingles, songs, poem, or music that reminds a customer of the product.  Classic examples are the tune (or ring tone, composed by music director AR Rehman) used in Airtel ad, and the “ting tin t-rin” sound present in the Britannia biscuits commercial.
