Abstract: Why do you buy things that you don’t need?. Digital Marketing strategy is the most important in business. This paper examines the thought process of consumers with multidisciplinary approach. First, I look at Sigmund Freud’s concept of Id, Ego and Superego. This can explain the inner war of a consumer. It can tell how the urge to buy can be balanced with justification. Next, I apply Jacques Lacan’s mirror stage. This can explain the reason for buying a product without any utility. A product can be bought for a ‘vibe.’ Here, the ‘Ideal I’ wants to be satisfied. Finally, I look at Carl Jung’s archetypes. It can tell how some brands feel like family. It can explain why one becomes a fan of a brand. The point here is that the brand itself must appeal to the customers. Overall, the paper offers practical knowledge for digital marketing through psychoanalysis. It reveals three audit matrices to build a strong brand.
