Carnival of Marketing

Its my blog's turn to host this week's carnival of marketing here at marketing journal. Okay, here are my top 7 marketing posts:

1. Mary Schmidt talks about the tyranny of many choices where less choice for the customers can actually lead to more and quicker sales.

2. Jennifer Rice tells you the importance of aesthetics, an important core need that can differentiate you and others.

3. Willie Crawford talks about how you can increase sales by proving to customers that they really have a problem by actually letting them feel the pain.

4. Jack Yoest tells you that commodities and brands are made valuable because of marketing activities. Just as how Peter Drucker said that innovation and marketing were the only competitive advantages the USA needed.

5. Pamela slim asks that if you speak marketing nonsense in your presentation. You should get a gang member coach to remind you how not to bullshit and speak in a language where people understand.

6. Jim Logan asks if you get milk for free, will you still buy the cow? What if you gave your client everything you know? What if you made all what, why, and how information freely available? Does your worth go down or does it go up?

7. Harry Joiner shares with you the top 5 traits you should look for in a candidate for any marketing job.

Next weeks Carnival of Marketing will be hosted at Brains on Fire and you can contact Spike Jones to submit your articles. If you want to submit a post to other future carnival, articles can be entered on the blog carnival submission form.
