"Marketing is a delusional profession. We’re so used to pushing our Kool-Aid™ at people that we’ve lost our ability to see our own Kool-Aid™. (It’s the same reason that fish have no word for ‘water’)." Doug Kessler  delivers truth with every post. …see more

Fascinating: "Beanie Babies were made by Ty, a company in Westmont, Ill. Ty didn’t actually manufacture Beanie Babies — that was outsourced to China — but it did everything else. The previous year, Ty’s executives began an extensive campaign to identify the nation’s most influential specialty gift and toy stores. Then, rather than advertise Beanie Babies to the public, executives quietly distributed small numbers of them to these retailers, often extracting a promise they would not sell more than a few Beanies to any single customer. Ty fiercely controlled retailers’ inventory of Beanies based on a complicated formula that was updated with each day’s sales and trends. If a store degraded the Beanie brand by discounting the toy or employing unfriendly salespeople, Ty would cut them off. As particular animals — like Peanut the Elephant — became popular, Ty ceased manufacturing them altogether. When Wal-Mart and Toys ‘‘R’’ Us asked to carry Beanie Babies, Ty refused...." "Ty’s executives made hundreds of tiny shifts in their manufacturing, marketing and distribution over the years, turning what began as a fad into a perennial best-seller, one that earned hundreds of millions of dollars each year and helped Ty employ thousands of people." …see more

Gone are the days when the most effective #marketingstrategy was to have a spokesperson, maybe a celebrity or subject-matter expert, represent your company in the mass media. Today’s consumer is skeptical toward messages that come directly from companies in the traditional manner, and much more likely to trust the word of an influencer, someone who affects the decisions of numerous people by posting content on #socialmedia . The applications for B2C marketing are fairly obvious, but B2B #influencermarketing operates a bit differently. But companies that neglect it or don’t use it optimally are missing out on vast opportunities to convert trust into engagement with their brands. …see more
