Network Marketing

Unleashing the Ideavirus

by Seth Godin

NEW!!! Picking up where "Permission Marketing" left off, "Unleashing the Ideavirus" explains how ideas, like viruses, can become contagious--only beneficially so, spreading from customer to customer, instead of from business to customer. By creating an information environment that allows ideas to thrive and spread, marketers can produce "ideaviruses" that, in effect, do much of their work for them. "The future belongs to marketers who establish a foundation and process where interested people can market to each other," he writes. "Ignite consumer networks and then get out of the way and let them talk."

Seth Godin, one of the world's foremost online promoters, offers his best advice for advertising in Permission Marketing. Godin argues that businesses can no longer rely solely on traditional forms of "interruption advertising" in magazines, mailings, or radio and television commercials. He writes that today consumers are bombarded by marketing messages almost everywhere they go. If you want to grab someone's attention, you first need to get his or her permission with some kind of bait--a free sample, a big discount, a contest, an 800 number, or even just an opinion survey. Once a customer volunteers his or her time, you're on your way to establishing a long-term relationship and making a sale. "By talking only to volunteers, Permission Marketing guarantees that consumers pay more attention to the marketing message," he writes. "It serves both customers and marketers in a symbiotic exchange."

And, for a marketing book, there can hardly be any stronger recommendation.
