Advertising is the cost of being boring (Andy Sernovitz tells the hard truth. Hugh MacLeod makes it pretty.)

Hugh - Advertising

Advertising is the cost of being boring.

If your customers won’t talk about your stuff, you have to pay newspapers and TV shows to do it for you.

But when people trust you, they are willing to put their words on the line for you. Please them, inspire them, and they’ll bring their friends to you.

What are your other options? Bore them — and be forced to spend millions in advertising to get them interested. Annoy them — and watch your customers walk away, taking their friends with them.

Word of mouth marketing is more than just marketing.

It’s a simple new philosophy: Earn the respect and recommendation of your customers and they will do the rest. Treat people well and they will do your marketing for you, for free.

Word of mouth marketing is more than just marketing.

It’s about making your stuff and your company worth talking about. What can you do today that will make someone want to tell a friend about you?

Put this on the wall.

I’ve been preaching this important message since 2006. And now the amazing Hugh MacLeod has created one of his fantastic original works so you can hang it on your wall and never forget.
