译文:营销的智慧

Marketing Wisdom
营销的智慧
from Branding Strategy by Jack Trout
• Most bad marketing is driven by the desire to grow, which is in turn driven by Wall Street, which is in turn driven by greed. CEO’s pursue growth to ensure their tenures, to increase their reputations, and to increase their take-home pay.
糟糕的营销大多是急于扩张的结果,而扩张的压力来自于华尔街,华尔街施加压力的原因则是贪婪。CEO们致力于扩大规模来保住他们的职位、提升他们的名声和人气,从而让他们的钱袋更加饱满。
• Another problem is trying to be all things to all people. That growth strategy fritters away resources on side battles, resources that ought to be concentrated on the main event. Decisions are a lot simpler when you’ve got one thing on which to focus.
营销的另一个问题是试图满足所有人的所有需求。这种增长策略会导致资源浪费在鸡毛蒜皮的小地方,而这些资源本来应该集中在主战场上。如果你只将注意力放在一件事情上,决策会容易得多。
• The more things you try to become, the more you lose focus, the more difficult it is to differentiate your product. Mark Twain said it best, ‘I cannot give you a formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure, which is: Try to please everybody.’
你涉足得方向越多,越可能失去关注的焦点,实现差异化也就愈加困难。马克 吐温说得好,“我无法告诉你成功的秘诀,但我可以给你一条失败的秘诀——试图取悦所有人。”
• When your business is more about great accounting than great products or great advertising, you’re headed for trouble.
如果你的生意更多是关于绝妙的财务报表,而不是绝妙的产品或广告宣传,那你早晚会遇到麻烦。
• Set realistic goals, which Frank Typer defined brilliantly as those that are ‘Beyond your grasp but within your reach.’
制定现实的目标。弗兰克 泰普尔给了精确的定义:好的目标应该“在你伸手能及之外,在你力所能及之内”。
