Why Should We Talk About You?

There are a few questions your marketing needs to answer if it’s going to be successful.

Questions like “Why should we buy from you instead of one of your competitors?” Why should we buy now instead of next week, next year or next never? What makes you so special? And so on. One of the less considered questions, yet just as important is this one…

“Why On Earth Should We Talk About You?

You see you want us to talk about you. You need it. It’s free advertising. It’s greater credibility. When we your market start talking about you to each other, that means your brand is finally going somewhere. It means you’re actually reaching us…we keep you in mind when we want to buy…or refer someone else. It’s simple

Mind Share = Market Share.

We’re not stupid though. We won’t talk about you just because you ask or just because you need us to. We won’t even talk about you just because you’re good. Good is expected. If you’re not good, then we’ll bad mouth you and complain about you. But to get us talking well of you…

You’ve got to be more than just good.

You have to be out standing. Note-worthy. You have to offer something, say something, do something outside of our everyday experience. You have be so far better, or different to your competition that we have no choice.

Is there anything about your product/service that’s truly conversation worthy? No? Well then, don’t expect much word of mouth. Expect to spend more and more money to get our attention. Expect to work harder, longer just to get us to remember that you exist. Expect to have your more outstanding competitor getting all our word of mouth.

So again… Why Should We Talk About You?
