Missing the Point

“Thirty-three million Chevy owners are NASCAR fans – it’s huge. That’s a very important base of customers that we need to continue to appeal to” – General Motors North America VP/Chevrolet Ed Peper, on hoping to continue having a strong presence in NASCAR [SceneDaily.com, via Sports Business Daily]

…or maybe you can just make better cars.

Apple doesn’t do brand placement in television shows - the set designers simply have a loyalty to the product works for them.

Google didn’t take out ads in order to make their search engine become a verb - it just kept working and people started putting into the vernacular.

Asics barely has a presence in television, but I know that I will buy their running shoes forever because they have given me customer service that was respectful and honest, and then delivered on their promise of a great sneaker.

If you have the chance to yell at in a room of people in which every other company has the same opportunity to yell, don’t. It’ll make your voice hoarse and may or may not make an impression on people.

Putting a pretty girl in front of a car makes me notice the pretty girl.

Song of the Day

Published by bgfeener under marketing

I have a hard time keeping up with these ____ of the Day posts, but here’s a song for today:

I think that the difficulty in ____s of the Day stems from the fact that I get a moment of inspiration which doesn’t come every single day. In business, unless you’re conducting business every single day, you’re losing out on customers and trust from customers. The inspiration needs to be there regardless. That’s why it’s important for you to find something you love to do in order to find the inspiration everywhere. It’s the same thing as being in love. When you really love something, it’s always on your mind and every song on the radio is about the other person. When you love your job, it can be the same type of thing.
