Friday Fun: One Word Movies

Film reel

I was watching Citizen Kane a few days ago and it occurred to me that the entire movie could be summed up in one word. If you say that word, and you’re talking about movies, everyone knows exactly which film you mean.

Rosebud.

Then I thought of a few more:

Munchkins
Stella!!!!
Oompa-loompa

What other movies can you describe in one word?

Marketing Plans Made Simple

marketing plans made simple

I recently read a series of posts on another blog about effective marketing plans.

The posts went through all sorts of useful (but complicated) analysis – SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats), psychographics, barriers to entry and so on.

All good to know, but a bit overwhelming. Heck, some of it made my head spin.

Marketing is complicated when you’re:

1. Selling to everybody instead of just “your tribe.” Don’t try to sell holistic medicine, childcare tips, and photography all on the same website.

2. Not differentiating yourself: “price,” “quality,” or “service” aren’t enough.

3. Marketing to demographics instead of problems. Never assume that shared demographics (age, income, children, geography) equals shared needs.

These tips are from my new two-part program, Marketing Plans Made Simple.

Find out:

* how to pick your dream client

* if your niche is big enough, or too small

* ways to stand out from your competition (or have none at all)
