soft sell
Soft sell refers to an advertising and sales method that uses subtle language, casual information, and a non-aggressive technique to persuade the consumer to purchase a product or service. Unlike hard sell, soft sell emphasizes on the emotions, benefits, and relationship building, often focusing on the needs, values and desires of the customer. It is less direct and more suggestive, often making use of storytelling, conversation and personal appeal to influence the purchasing decision.

Soft sell
In advertising, a soft sell is an advertisement or campaign that uses a more subtle, casual, or friendly sales message. This approach works in opposition to a hard sell. Theorists have examined the value of repetition for soft-sell versus hard-sell messages, in order to determine their relative efficacy. Frank Kardes and others have concluded that a soft sell, with an implied conclusion rather than an overt hard sell, can often be more persuasive. Soft sell is also less likely to be irritating to consumers.
