A New Marketing: The Top 5 Questions - to spark new marketing ideas

  • Andrew · 2 years ago
    Is it better to be the first or be the best?

    Personally I think it is better to be best. First gets noticed - best gets remembered.

    Who made the first MP3 player? I have no idea.

    Who makes the best MP3 player? I think everybody in "Generation iPod" knows that answer. lol

    Good post.

    I agree being the best is more of rewarding the being the first. It also resonates with us bloggers. We always try to get the first post out about something new without getting the facts straight.

    The good bloggers wait, get the real deal and then write and usually get on the front pages of most social bookmarking sites.

    Have a look at my group writing project on my blog, good luck!

    These set of questions are very helpful and can be used in many different marketing aspects. Like in the form of blogging.

    The one that caught my attention the most is "Is it better to be the first or be the best?" this had made me pondering for a while and I think it depends on the market of your particular product. Of course, this would require a new set of research.

    Thanks for your post.

    These questions are not as simple as they seem--each one could lead to days of discussion. I like the idea of boiling down the product, etc., to three words. That's a great way to turn a vague idea into a really powerful identity.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and encouraged me to read your entry. I just realized that I went through that process when planning for my latest book. Your entry inspired my today's column and mentioned your blog site as well. Cheers!
