It doesn’t take a mind reader
to know what people are thinking.

What do consumers think?
They are anxious.They are pragmatic.They are frugal.They delay.

Step 1
Analyze. Prune. Build.
Analyze your business.Find what’s working.Eliminate what isn’t.

If you can’t track success, you can’t
avoid future failure.
![Page 11: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Track everything. Emails. Websites. Advertising. Facebook...
![Page 12: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

If you can’t measure it,
you’re going
to have a tough time selling it to the CFO.

It’s not easy. But survival never is.
![Page 15: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step 2
Hug your customers
![Page 16: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
delight them.

Delighted customers spend more, buy more and pay higher margins than
non-delighted customers.
![Page 18: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
And they’ll talk to friends and convince them to do the same.
![Page 19: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ahh, there’s nothing like the sweet sound of word-of-mouth marketing in a downturn.
![Page 20: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

It’s a new world. It’s not just TV, radio and newspaper. It’s Facebook and YouTube and magnetic Starbucks cups attached to cars.

A child wished he could meet a Star Wars Storm Trooper.Simple, right?
![Page 31: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Thing is, we wanted this to be a cause for celebration.
![Page 32: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
So we brought him to Pioneer Place in downtown Portland.
![Page 33: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
But we didn’t introduce him to a Storm Trooper.
![Page 34: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
We introduced him to a streetcar full of Storm Troopers.
![Page 35: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Now that’s a delighted customer.
![Page 36: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
THE POINT:
The media can change.
![Page 37: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Your message can’t.
![Page 38: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 3
Focus on who not to target.
![Page 39: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
67%of marketers say refining target audiences is a key strategy for surviving an economic downturn.
![Page 40: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
We couldn’t agree more.
![Page 41: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Narrow your focus. Invest in a market segmentation study.
![Page 42: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
See where business is coming from and target it with laser-precision.

Invest in growth

study your markets, see where growth will come from. And invest.

Step 5It’s the message, stupid.
![Page 49: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Forget the medium. The moment is the message.
![Page 50: Marketing And The R Word](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051817/54827e3eb4af9f3f608b4675/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
And right now, the
economy
is front and center.

Is your message working with the economy? Or against it?
WILL WORK FOR WORK.

Kool Aid is hyping up how many drinks a consumer gets from each package and how the cost of each drink compares to the cost of a can of Coke.

“The focus of the advertisement is not the bed, but rather the guest. Emphasizing people first is part of the brand’s overall goal to help travelers work smart, stay fit, eat well and offer the services and amenities for travelers to have everything. Right where they need it.”

Retail business?Instead of dropping prices on your high priced products, create flanking products that deliver lower price to lower value customers.
