What are cult products?
If you’ve never heard the term before, a cult product is not necessarily a top-selling item. It is, however, one that has a fiercely loyal fan base. This happens because the brand forged a personal connection with its customers. It is not a short-term relationship — cult products are not fads. Consumers see their favorite cult items as something that accurately represents their identity, ideology, culture or other aspect of their life, so they remain customers for years. These products are distinctive and offer a desirable alternative to mainstream goods. They may also have compelling origin stories and create trends that make others feel like they are missing out if they do not own one. The difference between a cult and a trending product is cult products continue to have a life after the wave of popularity has passed.
