Seth Godin-浪费
浪费

几天前的一个晚上,当我走进酒店的房间时,我惊讶的发现有不少于十八盏的电灯(用的是普通灯泡)正在大放光明,三个加温器将室内温度提高到舒适惬意的75度,作为对于严严冬日的敬意。
等我到家的时候,从Amazon定购的价值125美元的手表正在等着我。包装盒里还有四本小册子,一个天鹅绒袋子和一块清洁布。整个包装盒的体积在10X3X3(英寸)以上,重量超过1磅——还不包括表。
我估计,要是这两件事情发生在几年前,我可能根本不会注意到。现在我却认为这两件事都是不对的。同样的,并不是你所有的客户都认可你的一厢情愿的做法。很多人会乐于将刻意的浪费视为自信或奢华的标志,但是也有同样多的人已经改变了他们对于浪费行为的看法 。你必须仔细考虑你究竟在向什么样的人传达信息,以及传达的内容。

Profligate
By Seth Godin
When I walked into my hotel room the other night, I was amazed to discover that no less than 18 lights were on (all traditional bulbs) and that the heat was set on three different thermostats to a toasty 75 degrees in honor of winter.
Then, when I got home, the $125 watch I had ordered from Amazon was waiting for me. The box for the watch contained four pamphlets, a small velvet bag, a cleaning cloth and was more than 10 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches in size. It weighed well over a pound–just the presentation box, not the watch.
In both cases, I don’t think I would have noticed or cared just a few years ago. Today, both feel wrong. Not all of your customers will feel this way. Many will embrace willful waste as a sign of confidence or luxury. But as more customers change their worldview about waste, you need to consider who you’re talking to and what you’re saying.
