Seth Godin Discusses: What Is Marketing?
Seth Godin has his finger on the pulse of business and buyers in the US and abroad. In this brief video interview he talks about the nature of Marketing.
He defines it as:
The art of telling a story to a consumer that they want to hear, that lets them persuade themselves to buy something. Inherent to that story:
- You have to have something they want. You must not force it on them.
- You have to be authentic. Tell the truth.
- Your story has to be so remarkable that people want to tell your story to others.
Remember, we have so much choice today that permission marketing is just the beginning of your strategy.
The nature of the web has ubiquitized products and services. What you provide must serve a real need in your audience but also have that special quality that shows a deep regard for elegant solutions.
