Carolyn Everson of Microsoft Advertising It must be both a marketer’s worst nightmare and his sweetest dream to reflect on the volume of new consumer gadgets that are launched every day. Each represents yet another platform with another technological challenge to overcome, but also has the potential to tap into an audience that has remained elusive. Three particular segments of this 2-hour slot stood out; Scott McDonald’s piece on how magazines are being consumed on the iPad, the subsequent panel discussion and finally John Carey’s take on what he thinks the future will hold for 3D TVs.

Why Marketing Fails #6: Lack of Repetition

One thing I know for sure: your customers are busy people. They see and hear your marketing message, and they may think, “Hey, that’s a great product!” Then a child (or the boss) starts to scream, or an ice storm knocks out power, or they run out of gas on the highway, and POOF! – Instant Distraction.
