Hi people,
Welcome from paradise where I’m currently celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. The Seychelles islands are a very special place and if you want to delight or surprise your partner one day, I mean this is the destination that you cannot go wrong. Just take a look at how beautiful the beach is in the back. You see some waves coming in, beautiful weather.
It’s not too warm today, beautiful conditions to enjoy a lovely holiday.
But now, let’s come back to my favorite subject again, which is marketing and I’m afraid to tell you that marketers, you are asleep. McKinsey’s research indicated already back in 2009 that consumer behaviors are changing the way they to do research and buy products today. Mark Schaefer’s new book called “Marketing Rebellion“, which came out at the beginning of 2019 highlights that consumers are the new marketing department. They are in control of a staggering 2/3 (two-thirds) of your marketing. Only 1/3 (one-third) is controlled by the marketing department.
I mean, please, this must be a wake-up call for you and me and all of us.
Here is what I would suggest doing.
We have to create consumer conversations, drip by drip, keeping your product or service in the mind of the consumers when they consider a purchase. Time over time. Period.
But remember, as long as the Matterhorn stands, everything will be alright.
Alright people, it was great talking to you. Have a good day and I continue enjoying my beautiful holiday at the Seychelles islands and I talk to you soon again from another special place. Talk to you soon. Bye bye.
Greetings from a Swiss mountain guy;-)
