A New Marketing

That’s really what it all boils down to.

We give people reasons to visit a web site. We give people reasons to tell a friend about a great product. We give people reasons to try something outside their comfort zone. We give them reasons to keep clicking through, to read the instructions, or to just pick up the box.

And while this seems simple, you’ll soon find you need a better and better reason. “Because I threw enough money at you” or “Because I interrupted so many times, you really couldn’t help it” are not going to be good enough.

It gets called different things, dressed up, and complicated, but in the end our job is simple. We have to give people a reason to do something (buy, join, act, etc.).

And when all you have is a reason, you better make sure yours is a good one.
