Marknadsföringsafforismer

Seth Godin, som lever på att ta bondförnuft och packa om det management, har samlat några sanningar om marknadsföring:

What Every Good Marketer Knows:

• Anticipated, personal and relevant advertising always does better than unsolicited junk.

• Making promises and keeping them is a great way to build a brand.

• Your best customers are worth far more than your average customers.

• Share of wallet is easier, more profitable and ultimately more effective a measure than share of market.

• Marketing begins before the product is created.

• Advertising is just a symptom, a tactic. Marketing is about far more than that.

• Low price is a great way to sell a commodity. That’s not marketing, though, that’s efficiency.

• Conversations among the members of your marketplace happen whether
  you like it or not. Good marketing encourages the right sort of
  conversations.

• Products that are remarkable get talked about.

• Marketing is the way your people answer the phone, the typesetting on your bills and your returns policy.

• You can’t fool all the people, not even most of the time. And people, once unfooled, talk about the experience.
