  25. DIFFERENT: A Lesson in Marketing: Better is not Better. Different is Better. by Mike Michalowicz

  26. DIFFERENT: A Lesson in Marketing: Better is not Better. Different is Better. Disruption only takes 5% change… Determine your disruptive strategy to differentiate your business & reach your sweet spot. • The E.S.T. Strategy: Be the obvious fast(est), cheapest(est), quick(est), and the not obvious slow(est), strange(est), funni(est), weird(est). Ex: Crocs exploded to growth by being the Strange-EST; Southwest Airlines is the Cheap-EST; Apple dominates on being the most Innovative-EST; McDonald’s is the most Convenient-EST.

  27. DIFFERENT: A Lesson in Marketing: Better is not Better. Different is Better. 2. The X-Factor (Leap Frog) Strategy: 10x different; lead in quality, convenience, price Ex: Local video store->Blockbuster->Netflix->Redbox 3. The Blend Strategy: Take 2 disparate industries and mix the best parts (circus with acrobats but no animals). Ex: Cirque du Soleil

  28. DIFFERENT: A Lesson in Marketing: Better is not Better. Different is Better. 4. The Forgotten Exposure Strategy: A lot of effort is made to attract business; you have the opportunity to redirect phone numbers; websites, email addresses of competitors who’ve closed. 5. The Disruption Strategy: Intentionally cause confusion or disruption to a process that has always been done a certain way. Can be done with minimal/no budget.

  29. DIFFERENT: A Lesson in Marketing:Better is not Better. Different is Better. 6. Journalist Strategy: Encourage people to share stories about your industry. Everyone loves to see their name in writing. 7. Office Whisper (Gossip) Strategy: Emulate the news. What’s the one statement that will keep your customer coming back? Remember: Unexpected appearances cause speculation and discussion. Start a secret with your customers. 8. Cost Shift Strategy: Charge more for overall savings. Best when customers pressure on price. Let your perceived value allow for higher prices. Ex: No longer a “chimney sweep” but a safety expert who focuses on chimneys.

  30. DIFFERENT: A Lesson in Marketing: Better is not Better. Different is Better. 9. Unexpected Partners Strategy: Find a link to a partner that you may not have considered. Ex: holistic provider partnering with chiropractor. 10. The Labels They Give You Strategy: You are what they say you are. Use their vocabulary. Ex: The Geek Squad; the TV show, Dirty Jobs. 11. The Worst is Best Strategy: We are drawn toward the bad. Have testimonials coming in; ask for the worst in the best way.
