It was full house.

Today we learned about "SALES" at Seattle Executives Association. We are all owners, directors and managers of companies with at least 10 years of experiences, in many cases much more. But we still learn things. They might not be new things but it was like refreshment course.

People do judge book by the cover.

Do not promote the content, promote the cover!!!

When you spend money marketing .. Your goal should not be try to sell one product ... rather you should try to create a brand image. One you are successful in creating recognizable brand, your marketing should be more effective and less costly.

Value Proposition

Small Golf Balls ... Titelist Pro V1 at 1/3 off?

There are three things people think about when people think about value.

(1) Quality of Product
(2) Quality of Service
(3) Price

(1) & (2) are given. Nobody wants to buy anything that is bad or poor service. So, the main thing people think about value is the price. You need to work hard to make sure your product is price competitive. If not, you need to work harder.

My friend told me about the golf ball. Other than the logo, it feels like and act like Titleist Pro V1 but at 2/3 of the price. It even says that on their website.

SNELL GOLF MISSION STATEMENT

To bring tour caliber equipment to the amateur golfer at an affordable price.
Our experience in R&D along with our strategic manufacturing partnership and direct to consumer distribution model allows us to do just that.

How do you make your product stand out?

Why should customer choose you over your competitors? Have you ever spend time to think about that? Here are some of the things you may be thinking about...

(1) Product
You may have better product than the other people.

(2) Service
You may have better service, after care, return policy, warranty than your competitors.

(3) Price
Your price is better then the others.

If you say "No" to all that, please tell me how you are able to stay in business. This is often called "Value Proposition". What is yours?

What is Branding?

6月

You know those logos and what they do.
No explanation necessary ... That is branding!

I have been hearing many marketing people say "Branding" especially in fast few years. I have read a few articles on branding and I could not come up with the simple explanation what it is and how it can be done. Then I searched for and listen to people.

What I came up is this...

If you advertise enough with your logo and product name, people remember your product. That makes it easy for customer to buy products and service that has your brand.

So, it is another marketing technique ... When you advertise, try to use same logo, name and color so that people will remember. You website should be consistent with your corporate brand as well.
