3 MORE underrated marketing lessons from the Italians.
That are entirely FREE.
LFG
👇
“Never give your services away for free!”
I disagree.
Our boat tour dropped us off in Amalfi, Italy.
There was one shop that stood out.
It was a chocolate shop.
And they gave away a TON of free samples.
Guess what happened?
Half of our group bought chocolates.
The moral of the story?
Humans are addicted to chocolate.
Just kidding.
But in all seriousness… it is human nature to repay our debts.
Free often leads to paid.
Most people have no idea what you do.
Which is your fault, not theirs.
Everything in Italy was on display.
Literally, everything was put on display.
Which was a good reminder of human nature.
If you want someone to buy your product or service.
You have to stay top of mind (ToM).
Ways to stay ToM:
Marketing isn’t about getting the sale.
It’s about being the best option when they are ready.
You rarely notice good service.
But you definitely notice great service.
I went to two weddings in two weeks.
One had a good DJ.
The other had a great DJ.
One struggled to keep the dance party going.
The other kept the party raging.
The difference?
Listening.
The DJ that crushed it knew his crowd.
He knew what they wanted to hear.
He listened to the people.
In my humble opinion.
This is essential to great marketing.
What do THEY want to see and hear?
Take home point…
- Free often leads to paid.
- Always stay Top of Mind (TOM).
- Listen to your audience.
