1) Marketing impacts many areas of a business and should be considered before launching a new product. 2) Successful marketing requires engaging customers through techniques like pretotyping to validate ideas and pricing models before full development. 3) Brand messaging should focus on the customer benefits and values rather than just product features to increase engagement and sales.

Spinach becomes a “valuable source of iron” to replace red meat during 2nd world war. • Towns erect Popeye statues and compete over valuable “Spinach Capital of the World” title. • All based on that erroneous piece of information (“10% more iron”) The power of data in a marketer’s hands! #eatyourspinach

Hinweis der Redaktion
- ALL STARTUPS HAVE A DREAM TO BECOME PART OF THE CLUB
- THIS THE REALITY
- AND WE KNOW THE REASONS WHY – AND THERE ARE MANY
- BUT THE CORE REASON IS THAT MOST NEW STARTUPS DON’T ENGAGE ENOUGH CUSTOMERS IN A PROFITABLE WAY FOR A LONG ENOUGH TIME
- PRETOTYPING IS MAKING SURE YOU ARE “SOLVING THE RIGHT PROBLEM” WITH THE RIGHT CUSTOMERS
- MOST STARTUPS ARE ASSUMING THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM THE CUSTOMER WANTS SOLVED AND CAN DECIDE WHAT THE MINIMUM VIABLE FEATURES ARE. EXPERIENCE SUGGESTS OTHERWISE
- THE PROCESS IS REALLY A SERIES OF CUSTOMER EXPERIMENTS – REALLY “FAST DATING THE CUSTOMER” TO EXPLORE HOW TO ENGAGE THEM MORE ON SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF YOUR IDEA
- ITS ALSO INVOLVES TESTING YOUR BRAND POSITION – A LITTLE MORE SCIENTIFICALLY THAN THIS CARTOON SUGGESTS
- SO THAT YOU DEVELOP A COMPELLING WAY TO ENGAGE YOUR CUSTOMER WITH YOUR IDEA – LIKE ALL THESE STARTUPS HAVE DONE ON THEIR WAY TO BECOMING PUBLIC COMPANIES WITH A STRONG BASE OF RAVING FANS
- http://www.thekitchn.com/why-did-popeye-eat-so-much-spinach-the-surprising-answer-191802 In 1870 German chemist Erich von Wolf correctly ascertained the amount of iron in spinach, but while transcribing his notes, he accidentally misplaced a decimal point: instead of recording that spinach had 3.5 milligrams of iron per 100-gram serving (as is the case), he wrote that it had 35 milligrams. This is a huge amount. As Samuel Arbesman notes in his book The Half-life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date, if that calculation were actually correct, "a 100-gram serving would be like eating a small piece of a paper clip." But this was the "fact" that went out into the world, and as it wasn't corrected until almost seventy years later, in 1937, spinach enjoyed a long tenure as the most vaunted of vegetables. Because it was full of iron, it was forced upon children as a miracle vegetable. Who hated it. Soggy. Leafy. Chewy. Strained. Ugh. It was being sold for it’s features … Popeye got hold of the “iron” concept and one of the original super-heros were born, that paved the way for books like Superman. Spurred on by the hopes of similar super powers, Spinach sales increased by 33%. Benefits talk about the customer. Features talk about you / your product / your service / your event. Benefits include an ROI. Features do not. Vitamin or a Pain Pill? Features are reasons to believe that the benefits promised are true. Inspire, don’t tell. Benefits should create strong emotions: “Spinach is full of iron” is a feature. “Spinach lets you kick Bluto’s ass” is a benefit.
