New Ways of Marketing




Marketing has its own style of doing things. What is there in this world that is not eligible or fit for marketing? Following is a paradigm example that helps you understand the bandwidth of marketing potential: from selling lifestyles to curated content, arranging manpower needs to selected positions on totem poles, everything is eligible for marketing.

However, nowadays, the style of marketing has been changed. It is not just putting efforts for outright selling but to inform and educate the customer. The idea is that once the customer understands and digests this new found knowledge, he himself goes looking for the product. There is no pressure-selling.

This strategy is a giant leap from the old ones where pressure-selling, pursuing, and chasing the customer, are part of the game.  As per the new trend, once the customer syncs with the company’s content cadence, the rest of the marketing cycle, i.e., converting himself from a prospect in to a lead is done by the customer himself without any further assistance.

In summary, the days of grappling and forcing the customer to buy have been replaced with educating and suggesting ways to focus and improve his bigger picture. This way, both the customer and company feel happy.

Happy marketing!
