Carnival Of Marketing - 19 Feb 2006
Well, it’s finally here. My turn to host The Carnival of Marketing.
This carnival was started by Noah Kagan and I appreciate him entrusting this week to me and I’ll do my best not to screw it up !
I’ve heard that some of the previous hosts had a hard time getting the necessary 7 posts. Well, I had the complete opposite problem. I had more than 15 submittals and since I had emailed all of the future hosts and asked them to be sure to submit ( Hint ! This works ! ), so as to create some momentum for their coming turn, I feel bad that I can’t post all the submissions.
Since I did have so many, and since I did ask for them, I’m going to use them all.
I’m going to put them in a hat and draw out 7 to use for this weeks carnival and I’m going to feature the others, 1 per day, as the next 7 or more posts here on Simplenomics.
Link love to the max ! If you weren’t one of the 7 I drew out, yours will get an individual placement, Trackback and link love in the coming days, so I want everybody who reads this to subscribe to my RSS feed or bookmark the URL and come back here for the next week.
On to this weeks posts and I hope you like all 15 ( or more ), even though it will take me a week to show them all to you.
The Art of Branding - by Guy Kawasaki - ” Flow with the go. As much as a I love marketing, at the end of the day, customers ultimately determine what your brand means. To a great degree, you take your best shot, and then you see what sticks. ”
Why Doesn’t Pete Townshend Need To Do Promotion ? - Liz Strauss - ” Pete Townshend is a rock star. He doesn’t need promotion. He is a brand. He’s a big idea of his own. He can start something new, and his customers find him. He can ignore all of the rules and ride the interest on the quality music and the top-notch promotion that’s already been done. It’s been compounding year after year in his virtual marketing account. ”
Market To College Students - Devin Reams - ” Seriously, we’re smart people. We notice little gestures like this. The majority of us are loyal to those who treat us well. Coupons are great but we’re not going to go looking for them. You have to hand me the 20% off discount as I’m looking to buy something. ”
An Open Letter To The New Social Marketers - Nedra Weinreich - ” Because bloggers have these things on their minds, not surprisingly, they write about them. But increasingly they are using the term “social marketing” as a catch-all phrase to describe what I would call social network marketing. ”
Does Your Company Truly Matter ? - Spike Jones - ” Companies that truly matter have a competitive advantage. They espouse values we believe in. They invite us to be the person we aspire to be. They move us to dream of making the world a better place to live. And sometimes companies that truly matter do business in a way that leaves us feeling more valued. ”
Business Ideas - The Great Divider - David Daniels - ” Take a close look at your company. Is there a free flow of ideas? Or are only a select few putting them forward. It’s time to open the flow of ideas in your business and take it to the next level. ”
When You Can’t Think Of Anything To Offer, Offer A Discount. Not. - Jim Logan - ” That’s what’s wrong with discounts, they don’t take thought. Anyone can lop 20% off their price. Which make discounts unoriginal. And unoriginal doesn’t attract attention or compel. ”
That’s the first 7 of the 15 submissions. Please come back here for the next 8 days as I feature the other 8 ( and any others that come in here after this post ).
I’m sorry that I had to use the hat to pick 7 of 15, but there was no way to differentiate between the submissions. They were all good and all of them had a nugget of wisdom embedded in them.
I hope that those that are going to be featured over the next 8 days are happy with my methods. I apologize to any of you who I emailed and your post didn’t get drawn, but I will use your post and it will get it’s link love.
Next weeks Carnival of Marketing will be hosted by The Law Marketing Portal and you can contact Larry Bodine over there to submit your posts.
