Still Trying to Buy Love?
August 23, 2010
In case you missed it, the economy stinks. Yet, you still have stuff to sell and a business to run. You’d think the bad economy would create less noise and confusion in the marketplace, but it has actually made it worse. Companies are desperate to stand out; to be heard. So they over-promote, over-sell, and over-spend on marketing. Sounds fun, huh?
What if there was a different way?
What if you decided not to add to the noise?
What if you decided to earn more love instead of trying to buy attention?
Justin Foster, President and Founder of the branding firm Tricycle, presents a 60 minute discussion that provides the secret to true differentiation: love! In this fun, interactive session, you will learn how to:
- Change the obsolete thinking that causes over-promotion.
- Treat every relationship that touches your brand as unique and different.
- Implement a unique approach to earn new business from existing relationships.
- Attract the right people to your business- customers, employees, and influencers.
- Use the language of love in your marketing and internal communications.
As with all of Justin’s presentations, “You Can’t Buy Love” will be thought provoking and humorous - and give you plenty of ideas you can immediately implement in your company. This isn’t some warm and fuzzy approach to business. “You Can’t Buy Love” reveals how to grow your brand, increase sales, and create a meaningful, relevant presence in the marketplace all without adding to the noise and sacrificing your ethics.
