Think Different: How to Stand Out in a Crowded Marketplace
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
In 2023, the entrepreneurial world has become a fierce battleground where innovation and disruption are not just buzzwords but the keys to success. Disruptive marketing is your ticket to standing out in this crowd. It's about daring to be different and engaging your audience in unique, memorable ways. So, let's dive into what makes disruptive marketing so powerful.
What Is Disruptive Marketing?
Disruptive marketing shatters the status quo. It's about:
Challenging Conventional Wisdom: Not just following the rules, but rewriting them.
Being Unpredictable: Doing the 'unthinkable,' even if it means going against the grain.
Leading, Not Following: Always looking for the new, unexplored path.
Why Should You Care About Disruptive Marketing?
Because it delivers:
Visibility: Makes your brand unforgettable.
Growth: Boosts sales and loyalty.
Enhancement: Improves customer experience.
Edge: Gives you a competitive advantage through creativity.
How Can You Embrace Disruption?
Here's how you can start thinking differently in your marketing efforts:
1. Flip the Script
Example: Turn "Less is More" into "Why Settle for Less, When More Gives You More?"
Inspiration: Apple's "Think Different."
2. Tell a Story with a Twist
Example: Share success through failure.
Inspiration: Dove's Real Beauty Campaign.
3. Create Visual Impact
Example: A bank using graffiti-style graphics.
4. Challenge Through Interactive Content
Example: A fitness quiz for unconventional workouts.
5. Engage Socially with Purpose
Example: A social media challenge for innovative product ideas.
6. Use Humor and Wit Where Least Expected
Example: A tech company using humor to explain complexity.
By embracing these strategies, you're not just adding shock value; you're creating a meaningful connection. Start small, take risks, measure the response, and build on what resonates with your audience. In a world where everyone is shouting, disruptive marketing is your megaphone. It's time to think differently and let your unique voice be heard.jzo6ydAYEywnLIGSAXOQ

WHAT BEING STUCK IN YOUR BIZ CAN ACTUALLY MEAN
Saturday Jul 23, 2022
Saturday Jul 23, 2022
On today’s episode of Light at the End of the Funnel Podcast, I talk about something most entrepreneurs and business owners have faced from time to time. Being stuck (aka feelings of stuckness).
I lovingly refer to this as Tobey’ing, which I named after my childhood collie…and yup his name was Tobey.
Tobey was a herd dog and so he would run paths around our farm. He ran that path he made every day, so you can imagine how noticeable it was to anyone other than Tobey.
And as entrepreneurs we run our own paths. We become routine in our daily doings, and sometimes those daily routines aren’t always conducive to our growth and expansion. Especially when things happen that make it impossible to ignore this one thing…
The path/routine we have been running is no longer working for us.
So we have to pivot and find work arounds and find different angles that will work better for us. But, for many of us, we can’t jump right in to finding a solution. Instead, we get anxious, feel overwhelmed, and find ourselves stuck in the intersection of our path and that towering block that makes it seem impossible to find away around or through or anything else.
Today I give you a little perspective shift…and a little hope so that you don’t ‘Tobey’ for too long and move past the problem and into a solution.
