Marketing Quote
Authentic marketing is not the art of selling what you make but knowing what to make
. It is the art of identifying and understanding customer needs and
creating solutions that deliver satisfaction to the customers,
profits to the producers and benefits for the stakeholders.
Marketing Quote
Marketing is not an event, but a process . . . It has a beginning, a
middle, but never an end, for it is a process. You improve it, perfect
it, change it, even pause it. But you never stop it completely.
Marketing Quote
You can say the right thing about a product and nobody will listen. You've got to say it in a way that
people will feel it in their gut. Because if they don't feel it,
nothing will happen.
Marketing Quote
The philosophy behind much advertising is based on the old observation that every man is
really two men -- the man he is and the man he wants to be.
