Nike is a prime example.

Nike inspires you to find your inner athlete and then provides you with the equipment to make it happen.

At no point is Nike in your face saying to buy this shoe or that cleat.
4. Relationships Spark Word of Mouth

Consumers want to have a sense of relationship with the brands they purchase from.

And now, it’s more important than ever.
The more you can build a relationship with consumers through:

- Doing things that don’t scale (ex handwritten note, email response)
- Referral Programs
- Customer Surveys, 1 on 1
- Personalization

The more consumers will tell other ppl about the positive experience.
Relationships are two-sided.

Always show up.
5. Be Appreciative

Your goal is to not waste people’s hard-earned money or time.

And when someone trusts you with either, say THANK YOU!

Don’t take it for granted.

They’re not a metric.

It’s a person on the other side trusting you to solve their problems.
6. Understand Perspective

Perspective is everything.

Being able to see your consumer's objections through their lens will change how you see marketing.

Understanding what they want, how they want it, and why they want it will change how you communicate.
7. Communicate

When someone consumes your content, they’re one on one with you.

So, when you create — create as if you’re only speaking to that one person.

Not an audience of 50k.

But the one person who’s giving you their undivided attention.

Communicate directly to them.
8. Put out the fire

Your customers are always right.

A negative customer experience turned positive can create a brand advocate.

Don’t fight fire with fire.

Be smart — put out the fire.
