'Dit is de gelegenheid waar je naar zocht, de mogelijkheid om het werk waar jij achter staat te delen met de mensen die daarnaar verlangen, ervoor willen betalen en erover willen praten. Ik geloof dat je alleen een verandering in gang kunt zetten als je de mensen die je wilt bereiken echt ziet en begrijpt. Als zij eenmaal volledig betrokken zijn, zullen ze met liefde jouw boodschap verder uitdragen. Door dit boek zal je andere vragen gaan stellen, zullen andere dingen je opvallen, zal je op een andere manier gaan werken.' – Seth Godin
De afgelopen 25 jaar heeft Seth Godin miljoenen ondernemers, leiders en fans geïnspireerd. Met Dit is nu marketing deelt hij voor het eerst het geheim van zijn marketingkennis: goede marketeers gebruiken consumenten niet om de problemen van hun bedrijf op te lossen, ze gebruiken marketing om de problemen van hun klanten op te lossen.
Het gaat ze niet om wie het hardst schreeuwt, maar om de wereld te verbeteren. Werkelijk krachtige marketing komt voort uit vrijgevigheid, empathie en emotie. Het is de hoogste tijd om te stoppen met liegen, spammen en je schuldig voelen over wat je doet. Om socialmediastatistieken te verwarren met waardevolle verbinding. Om geld te verspillen aan aandacht trekken – op de lange termijn levert dat niets levert. Het is tijd om gezien te worden, door eerst te leren hoe je moet kijken.
So geht Marketing heute auch
Der Marketing-Guru Seth Godin weiß: Heute werden Produkte nicht mehr durch aufsehenerregende Werbeblöcke oder nervende Spam-Mailings vermarktet jedenfalls nicht erfolgreich. Ob für Technologie- Start-ups, Kleinunternehmer oder Konzernmitarbeiter, das Umfeld hat sich für alle geändert. Die Kunden erwarten keine Produkte mehr, sie erwarten angepasste Problemlösungen.
Godin gewährt erstmalig einen kompakten Einblick in seine ganze Marketingerfahrung. Er belegt mit konkreten Beispielen, dass effektives Marketing heute nur durch Einfühlungsvermögen, Service, Spannung, Vertrauen und die richtige Positionierung gelingt. Und zeigt, was alles nötig ist, um Menschen wieder mit guter Arbeit zu erreichen.
The cult classic that revolutionized marketing by teaching businesses that you're either remarkable or invisible.
Few authors have had the kind of lasting impact and global reach that Seth Godin has had. In a series of now-classic books that have been translated into 36 languages and reached millions of readers around the world, he has taught generations of readers how to make remarkable products and spread powerful ideas.
In Purple Cow, first published in 2003 and revised and expanded in 2009, Godin launched a movement to make truly remarkable products that are worth marketing in the first place. Through stories about companies like Starbucks, JetBlue, Krispy Kreme, and Apple, coupled with his signature provocative style, he inspires readers to rethink what their marketing is really saying about their product. In a world that grows noisier by the day, Godin's challenge has never been more relevant to writers, marketers, advertisers, entrepreneurs, makers, product managers, and anyone else who has something to share with the world.
How to find the soft innovation that will make your product, service, school, church, or career worth talking about.
We live in an era of too much noise, too much clutter, too many choices, and too much spam. And as Seth Godin's 200,000-copy bestseller Purple Cow taught the business world, the old ways of marketing simply don't work anymore. The best way to sell anything these days is through word of mouth and the only real way to get word of mouth is to create something remarkable.
Free Prize Inside, the sequel to Purple Cow, explains how to do just that. It's jammed with practical ideas you can use right now to make your product or service remarkable, so that it will virtually sell itself.
Remember when cereal came with a free prize inside? Even if you already liked the cereal, it was the little plastic toy that made it irresistible. Godin explains how you can think of a bonus that will make your customers feel just as excited, no matter what business you're in. Consider these free prizes:
• The Tupperware party, which turned buying plastic bowls into a social event
• Flintstones vitamins, which turned a serious product into something fun
• The free change-counting machine at every Commerce Bank branch
• The little blue box from Tiffany, which makes people happy before they even open it
This book offers a way to create free prizes quickly, cheaply, and reliably and persuade others in your organization to help you bring them to life.
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of This is Marketing, written and read by Seth Godin.
Over the past quarter century, Seth Godin has taught and inspired millions of entrepreneurs, marketers, leaders, and fans from all walks of life, via his blog, online courses, lectures, and bestselling books. He is the inventor of countless ideas and phrases that have made their way into mainstream business language, from Permission Marketing to Purple Cow to Tribes to The Dip.
Now, for the first time, Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one accessible, timeless package. At the heart of his approach is a big idea: Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. They don't just make noise; they make the world better. Truly powerful marketing is grounded in empathy, generosity, and emotional labour.
This book teaches you how to identify your smallest viable audience; draw on the right signals and signs to position your offering; build trust and permission with your target market; speak to the narratives your audience tells themselves about status, affiliation, and dominance; spot opportunities to create and release tension; and give people the tools to achieve their goals.
It's time for marketers to stop lying, spamming, and feeling guilty about their work. It's time to stop confusing social media metrics with true connections. It's time to stop wasting money on stolen attention that won't pay off in the long run. This is Marketing offers a better approach that will still apply for decades to come, no matter how the tactics of marketing continue to evolve.
The old rules: Play it safe. Stay in your comfort zone. Find an institution, a job, a set of rules to stick to. Keep your head down. Don't fly too close to the sun.
The new truth: It's better to be sorry than safe. You need to fly higher than ever.
In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an economy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkability, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art.
Art is not a gene or a specific talent. It's an attitude, available to anyone who has a vision that others don't, and the guts to do something about it. Steve Jobs was an artist. So were Henry Ford and Martin Luther King Jr.
To work like an artist means investing in the things that scale: creativity, emotional labor, and grit. The path of the artist isn't for the faint of heart-but Godin shows why it's your only chance to stand up, stand out, and make a difference.
The time to seize new ground and work without a map is now. So what are you going to do?
We Are All Weird is a celebration of choice, of treating different people differently and of embracing the notion that everyone deserves the dignity and respect that comes from being heard. The book calls for end of mass and for the beginning of offering people more choices, more interests and giving them more authority to operate in ways that reflect their own unique values. For generations, marketers, industrialists and politicians have tried to force us into little boxes, complying with their idea of what we should buy, use or want. And in an industrial, mass-market driven world, this was efficient and it worked. But what we learned in this new era is that mass limits our choice because it succeeds on conformity. As Godin has identified, a new era of weirdness is upon us. People with more choices, more interests and the power to do something about it are stepping forward and insisting that the world work in a different way. By enabling choice we allow people to survive and thrive.
We send our kids to school and obsess about their test scores, their behavior and their ability to fit in. We post a help wanted ad and look for experience, famous colleges and a history of avoiding failure. We invest in companies based on how they did last quarter, not on what they're going to do tomorrow. So why are we surprised when it all falls apart? Our economy is not static, but we act as if it is. Your position in the world is defined by what you instigate, how you provoke, and what you learn from the events you cause. In a world filled with change, that's what matters - your ability to create and learn from change. Poke the Box is a manifesto about producing something that's scarce, and thus valuable. It demands that you stop waiting for a road map and start drawing one instead. You know how to do this, you've done it before, but along the way, someone talked you out of it. We need your insight and your dreams and your contributions. Hurry.
