The LOVER
LOVER brands are often about developing closeness between people. This may be in the obvious sexual or romantic sense, or it could be in the way customers are nurtured.
Famous LOVER characters include Romeo, Cassanova, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna.
If your brand offers any kind of concierge style service that dotes on your customers then the LOVER brand could be for you. Alternatively, if your brand sells anything sensual such as perfume or ice cream, then the LOVER archetype will be a great fit.
The LOVER archetype may be a good match if your business encourages people to find love or friendship or offers products to help people feel more attractive.
Brands who adopt the LOVER archetype may be focused on beauty and elegance and could use this archetype to differentiate themselves from lower priced brands in a positive way.
Typically, brands who embody the LOVER archetype are often moderately or high priced.
