Build It and They Will Come

They only way you will have buyers beating a path to your door by "Simply Building It" is to have them come to your door first.


When delivering a product or service to the person making the purchasing decision you must make sure the the product actually meets NEEDs, address Wants and adequately controls their expectations.


This is accomplished by taking time to listen to them before you take the time and effort to "Build it".

Firstest sometimes the Worstest

I started a Forum Thread about Product Development - http://www.brandingservices.org/forum/topic/show?id=1699302%3ATopic%3A1361 -


where I noted that being first and original is not always the best road to success with new products. If being the FIRST with a new product was the ultimate situation then patents woulds have a much higher success than they do. In the USA there are over 7,320,000 patents

Cool lookin' site. I appreciate the invite, but kinda feel out of water here. Nonetheless, thanks. Not knowing exactly what this site was about, I blew up the blogs with some half-rants. I hope it isn't cutting into your main objective here.

Bastardized Brand Virtualization - Online Spin Blog Post

I found today's Online Spin blog post of interest. Trying to recap would not do it justice so I have included the full post below. While many online marketers are enthusiastically telling others to join SL, this post offers a contrary opinion (often my favorite kind of opinion!).
