Shoeshop Marketing
A shoeshop owner was dismayed when a competitor selling similar shoes opened next-door to him, displaying a large sign proclaiming:
"Best Deals"
Not long after he was horrified to find yet another competitor move in next-door, on the other side if his store. It's large sign was even more disturbing:
"Lowest Prices"
After his initial panic, and concern that he would be driven out of business, he looked for a way to turn the situation to his marketing advantage. Finally, an idea came to him. Next day, he proudly unveiled a new and huge sign over his front door. It read:
"Main Entrance"!Action Summary: - hmm... I'm still thinking about one. Better access to your product or store beats better advertising?
(btw, my Hungarian friend and marketer - Wolf Gábor - first narrated this joke to me. If you read Hungarian, check out his interesting site) -- (I am behind in my emails, in my readings and even my blog posting! What have I been upto lately? I just moved apartments. And am also working on a new project - digging a well - sort of. Will tell you more about my exciting new project in a few days time. In the mean time, I've lined up a guest author to blog over here. And will also post something interesting on Monday.)
