Marketing Made Simple For Early-Stage Companies: 3 Steps and 3 Targets

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .




Get Them Gawking...Get Them Talking...


Early-stage marketing and promotion of ideas, products, services and people are crucial things. Fortunately, they require only three critical steps. Complete those and you are off to branding, building and filling orders (or filling your calendar with engagements).

Here they are (The Big 3) as they relate to your target audience*:

1) GET THEIR ATTENTION;

2) GIVE THEM A CALL TO ACTION;

3) ENGAGE THEM - FASCINATE THEM.

* As an early-stage enterprise, your three targets are generally: A) angel investors, venture capitalists, credit enhancement sources (all collectively, "capital'); B) prospective distributors, affiliates or licensees (all collectively, "distribution channels"); and C) thought-leaders, experts, gurus, publishers, influencers and credible third-party sources (all collectively, "trend makers") to spread (i.e., buzz, re-tweet, blog about) your idea and needs into NEWS and DEMAND.

Review: Do the 3 Steps For Each Of Your 3 Targets...

1) CAPITAL;

2) DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS; and

3) TREND MAKERS.

Faithfully,

The MPower Escape Case™

NEW PRODUCT PROFILE – July 22, 2011

Description Of Product: The ideal "James Bond" office-in-a-box solution for every entrepreneur, professional and corporate executive, MobileLogic's sleek, versatile, case-solved travel case is the ultimate attaché to immediately organize, consolidate and carry all of your communications and information gear (including those cords, chargers, portable drives, and the rest of your stuff) and to charge it all up while you're waiting between meetings. The magic is that this case consolidates, organizes and integrates your gear into itself, like a second skin. Of course, it’s ergonomic, durable, weather-resistant, shock-resistant and high-utility, as well as sexy.

Designed And Manufactured By: NewVision™ Mobile, Inc., trading as MobileLogic™. The company is an early-stage developmental enterprise which is in the process of negotiating $1.25 million in capitalization (in order to initiate production), and is entertaining discussions with prospective master distributors having established market channels in order to address the global markets.

Inventor, Founder and CEO: DJ Sherman, an understated but wildy-enthusiastic entrepreneur who has been bootstrapping the company for more than two years, and has obtained financing through friends, fans, and true believers in the quality and integrity of the product, as well as its Founder.

Product Sneak Preview: The company, a TNNWC client (website: http://www.tnnwc.com/), has what must be the world’s most hilariously entertaining preliminary website (its actual site is being developed now) at http://www.case-solved.com/. We would suggest that you visit it, AND THEN COME RIGHT BACK HERE. When you’ve stopped laughing, continue reading, please. We know, we know – the website flash presentation should be on YouTube.

The Market: The retail consumer market is international, comprised of all mobile information and communication device users who have to travel to go to appointments, to meetings, to conferences or on other trips. These people must have their offices with them at all times. With the increase in telecommuting, flex-time employment, device dependency, social media domination and constant interactivity, and with the heartless-but-real expectation that every business person has to be accessible and have access to all of his or her “tools” all of the time. The market is phenomenally large and growing, and also includes students (early-adopters) and other technophiles-in-the-making.

The product will be available in a standard version and a premium version, each with its own sub-market. The standard version, which will be manufactured in several different color patterns, will likely sell for $89.00 to $109.00, whereas the premium version will likely sell for $289.00 to $309.00.

Company Status: Company has engineered its product design, and is the process of obtaining new artist renderings of finished product. The product will be built in the United States, and in excess of fifty full-time employment opportunities are expected to be created within the next 2 years. For further information, contact Stuart Pressman of TNNWC at 888.317.6498.

Putting Your Own Captions On Other People's Photos!

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .



Q: What Was "The Thinker" Thinking?
















Putting Your Own Captions On Other People's Photos!

Mad Marketing requires an almost sociopathic willingness to do anything in the interest of getting attention for you, your brand, your product or your service. A street-lethal gutsy slogan, a mascot (preferably a talking animal -- skip the pile of money with the googly eyes -- it had no character to it and it wasn't working for GEICO...watch them phase it out), an insignia, a unique typestyle, a celebrity endorsement, a spokesperson with a very memorable voice (like that lady with the obtrusive, offensive, grating but genuine Brooklyn, New York accent who used to do those SNAPPLE commercials)  or a re-captioned or altered picture.

Any enthusiastic marketing maniac with Picassa or Photoshop software can snag photos (these should be preferably either classic or shocking but non-pornographic images), and put labels on them. A photograph with an embedded caption works best. A photograph with a highly unexpected or absurd caption works even better. Yes indeed -- better than the best.

Now that you've heard this, you'll want to experiment. If you are not a completely brilliant innovative witty individual, you'll want to investigate using one of the services offered by TNNWC Group, such as:

TNNWC NEWS RELEASES, PUBLICITY AND PUBLIC RELATIONS, or

TNNWC BUZZWORKS.

Just for educational purposes, I have put a number of these completely and irreverently adulterated photos taken from my personal collection (carefully maintained in my linen closet, downstairs, next to my almost untouched toolkit) here on display; each has served me very well in a buzz, branding or media campaign. They have invited attention, controversy, and sparked debate --- but I received my attention!



























Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
