German term

in den Köpfen verankert werden

German to English Marketing Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Ich habe hier ein Interview zum Thema „Electronic Markets“.

Es existierten viele technisch funktionierende Plattformen, vor allem im B2B-Bereich. Rational gesehen hat alles dafür gesprochen, dass diese auch benutzt werden. Es zeigte sich aber, dass sie nicht oder viel zu wenig benutzt wurden. Diese Produkte müssen nämlich auch *in den Köpfen verankert werden*.

Wer kann mir eine schöne, idiomatische Variante geben? Die Formulierung taucht mehrmals im Text auf.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Quite like Susie's suggestion. Have just thought that the more usual collocation is "to be lodged in someone's mind".

What's wrong with "anchored in their heads"? :)
