Did you get a chance to read the special report? Now. The purpose of the video linked from this email is to deepen customers understanding of the problems they face by using platitudes in their marketing. Namely…

• Your customers cannot tell you apart from your competitors so the only thing they can differentiate you with is your price.
• Because you look like your competition your customers see you as a commodity. Once again price is the only way to differentiate you. It becomes a race to the bottom.
• Commodities can be undercut through things like automation, innovation or just cheap labour in places like Asia. Websites are a classic example. You’ll learn more on this as you go through this series.

The thing to bear in mind is that marketing is the message. Not the media.
