Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping consumer behavior, yet trust deficits remain a significant barrier to adoption. This chapter examines the psychological and behavioral economic factors that influence IoT acceptance, highlighting the centrality of perceived risk, trust heuristics, and emotional engagement. It explores strategies for building brand trust through transparency, ethical responsibility, and corporate accountability. Furthermore, the chapter analyzes how IoT brands can differentiate themselves through authentic digital storytelling, influencer partnerships, and omnichannel marketing. The role of real-time personalization and smart data-driven experiences is discussed alongside the ethical imperatives they entail. Drawing on cross-industry case studies, the chapter identifies key success factors in IoT branding and marketing. It concludes by outlining future trends that will shape consumer expectations and strategic responses in an increasingly connected marketplace.
