Bad Economy – Good News!
We loved the bad economy – and so did our clients.
For all the pain it caused, economic downturns allowed us to discover that areas of growth are more plentiful in hard times than in boom times. Highly successful, strategic and totally proactive business people know that hard economic environments clean the marketplace of competitors who, in good times, are too easily taking the benefits of really good and sustainable businesses. For a very long time, the people most skilled in solving the biggest and most important problems, have been the best rewarded. That has always been so, and will continue to be.
These successful business people know that they had to incorporate growing thinking into every aspect of their business (remember: you can never solve problems by the same way of thinking that created them). And, accordingly to that, you need to have a detailed strategic marketing plan with specific performance growth expectations. Growing thinking is also about understanding that the old rules for marketing don’t work anymore in today’s wired world where the web is often the primary source for information.
If you take a look at the website of a company from no matter which industry and compare it with its competitors, you’ll see that their offering and their websites bend over backwards to be just like all the others. Very difficult to identify one website from another if you delete the name of the company…. We’re all the same, we’re all the same, we’re …
Sometimes, we try so hard to fit in that we give consumers no choice but to seek out the cheapest. After all, if everything is the same why not buy what's cheap and close? When you look around for some personality, you won’t find it. You will feel as if you were being marketed to a string of messages that have been developed by a focus group, in a lab. It just doesn’t seem authentic.
Marketing today is every bit of contact your company has with the outside world, wired or unwired. It is your story made fascinating. And to get other people to talk about you.
We can help you with that and will provide you with actionable strategies that you can use to grow your business beyond anything you ever expected.
