MARKETING STARTING POINT

Marketing start with making a remarkable product. The remark here is not from you it from users of your product. This means they must experience our product from a point that they feel it important to give a remark. The remarks they give tells others the story because they use words like  insanely great, excellent when discussing it. 

when you check out products or brands doing great in the market you discover that they are just great at what they do. Brands like Google, Apple, Amazon and Nike. Marketing start with the product. when the product is better than what available in the market, you have done 80% of the marketing right. Most product fail in the market because the product wasn't remarkable from the users point of view. 

we are always in the search for what is new, remarkable, better than what is available. so when it better and remarkable we are always ready to tell our family and friends. when the product is not great we don't tell our love ones. we don't just buy products for ourselves we buy for family and friends because they will always ask questions when they see the product with us.

Consumers are always ready to pay a reasonable sum of money for a great product. The most important thing is to make the product standard. when the product is standard consumers are always ready to pay. we buy everything at a bargain. The users is always interested in value for their money. Nobody want to waste money. Everything we buy we want it at a bargain. Make great products and let friends and family   spread the message.
