  • "Do You Make This Marketing Mistake?" Harvard Business Review...  By : Kim Klaver -
    In a recent piece in the Harvard Business Review, the authors remind us what a normal person wants when they buy something. And no, it is NOT the thing they buy.

    Harvard marketing professor Theodore Levitt, they write, used to tell his students,

    "People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole!" (Harvard Business Review, 12.05)

    Think about your product. Are you selling its features, benefits, ingredients, or scientific validity? Or are yo...
  • "Even Children's Comic Book Makers Do It..."  By : Kim Klaver -
    Well, in Japan, anyway.

    Comic book makers for schoolgirls and boys in Japan offer different fare to boys and girls...so that BOTH groups buy those comics like crazy, not just the traditional boy market.

    In their June "Japanese Schoolgirl Watch," Wired magazine notes, "Anyone who thinks schoolgirls and boys enjoy the same fantasies needs to bone up on shojo manga." The Japanese comics for gals are the antitheses of typical boy titles, they write.

    "In the series for gu...
  • "i Have To Start Over."  By : Kim Klaver -
    During yesterday's New School Mastermind session, we polled everyone: What's your #1 biggest obstacle to moving your business ahead?

    We all heard each one, and then the group voted on which one to take up first.

    #1. "I have to start over. I need a new Rep. Someone to do things together with so the business would be more fun and less lonely."

    Asking around to see who had had that problem and what they'd done, one person piped up, "Well I got my most recent new Rep at ...

  • "Love Thine 'enemy! It's Good Business!" Says Tom Peters  By : Kim Klaver -
    Management guru Tom Peters has been reading some of our minds.

    His "Love Thine 'Enemy! It's Good Business!" post is a reminder that none of us can be all things to all people. So why not acknowledge that and support the old adage, to each his/her own?

    Actually, the more the better.

    Consider the activities of 300+ members of Network Marketing Central. Networkers from 118 different companies (yikes!) are meeting each other and, yep, buying and selling their products an...

  • "Testosterone-Free Marketing" - Marketing For Women That Really Works  By :
    Women are starting businesses in the US and beyond at twice the rate of men. So, why are businesses owned by women still often not taken seriously? I believe it's because marketing and selling is such a big obstacle for many women that they avoid it and never build the business they had in mind when they originally started as a business owner.

    Some women take to marketing and sales effortlessly. Most avoid it like the plague. In "Testosterone-Free Marketing" I reveal that ...

  • $70 billion or Euro 53.07 bn or £36.29 bn is spent in America alone annually on advertising time!  By : Paul Ashby
    Americas' Ad Age said recently that somewhere between 254 and 5,000 is a number that represents just how many commercial messages an average consumer gets each day.

    However attempts to beat clutter only end up yielding more of it, a bitter irony bound to have dire consequences for a business already struggling with questions of relevance and effectiveness.

    And just about everybody agrees on two things: It's way too high, and the industry's not doing anything to reduce its own overproduction.
  • "folksonomies" - A New Viral Marketing Tool  By :
    A new consumer phenomenon is called "tagging" or "folksonomies" (short for folks and taxonomy). Tagging is powerful because consumers are creating an organizational structure for online content. Folksonomies not only enable people to file away content under tags, but, even better, share it with others by filing it under a global taxonomy that they created.

    Here's how tagging works. Using sites such as del.icio.us - a bookmark sharing site – and Flickr - a photo sharing sit...

  • ...Is Network Marketing Easy??...  By :
    I personally believe we do a dis-service to the industry and ourselves if we openly state...or even allude...that NWM is easy. It's not. Nor is any business....WAH or brick & mortar. Anyone who does say different is not being wholly truthful. I find that to be a shame.

    NWM requires 3 main ingredients....time, effort, and yes - money. Time is just a matter of redirecting your habits. Not easy but doable. Time directly impacts your efficiency. Effort is entirely controllable...
