What should a marketer be able to do?

  • "If you are a marketer who doesn't know how to invent, design, influence, adapt, and ultimately discard products, then you're no longer a marketer. You're deadwood." - kazwell on 2006-09-19

Why VHS was better than Betamax

  • In marketing terms, "the core product" - such as a car, a computer, or a video recorder - is just the start. You have to add on all the things like reliability, service and support (the expected product), its expansion capabilities (the augmented product) - kazwell on 2006-09-19

Slow-cooked success (growing an audience)

  • If you do what everyone else does and expect a better result, you'll kick yourself later. Focus on the small things you can do differently to move yourself forward. It may take longer but your gains will be real - kazwell on 2006-09-19

Some interesting thoughts on Apple's Marketing from Seth Godin

  • "Apple has always resented the early adopters. There’s a 20 yr history of abandoning the retailers, users that keep them in business. Steve wants to be Bill Gates and rule the world but he’s too proud to make the crap that the mass market demands" - kazwell on 2006-09-19

Oscar Wilde on liars

  • "The liar at any rate recognizes that recreation, not instruction, is the aim of conversation, and is a far more civilised being than the blockhead who loudly expresses his disbelief in a story which is told simply for the amusement of the company." - kazwell on 2006-09-19
