If you’ve been in marketing or advertising for any length of time you’ve probably heard it before, but just in case, here it is again. Babies and animals sell. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the books of savvy marketers. They add a cute factor to campaigns and a sense of innocence is given to the product.
