Written by Jimmy Mallet.
In 1991, you had to work 3 months to buy a computer, 4months1/2 to afford a television, and almost 16 months for a car. Today, you have to work 20 days for a computer, 50 hours for a flat screen TV and a little more than 11 months to buy a new car (Source Capital in August 2011 No. 239). Proof that, even if we do not always notice, our purchasing power has increased...

A marketing buzz can quickly slip
Written by Jimmy Mallet. HP recently announced that they will stop developping WebOS, the operating system of its “HP Touchpad”. With a no-longer supported OS (so no future for the product), a large sell-off of the Touchpad was initiated, with prices down from 499 euros to 99 euros for the 16 gigas. All e-sellers have run out of their stocks in a few minutes the next day. All but one,...

Written by Jimmy Mallet. One goal of marketing is to analyze customer needs, to create an appropriate offer and thus create interest and trigger the purchase. In other words, make selling easier and buying more attractive. An example: when a customer enters a store to buy a drill bit, the seller must know if it’s just to drill through wood, concrete or metal! I hear you say, it’s easy....

Written by Jimmy Mallet. As a consumer, you’ve probably already made this objection to a vendor during a discussion “- You’re too expensive!”. If this is the case, the seller will not have much to answer except claiming the benefits of its product or service.

Social media, the future of marketing ?
Written by Jimmy Mallet.
There is much talk of social networks. Linked, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Ping, and so on so the list could be long. Marketing professionals are also using them now as a new vehicle for communication, more or less under control. It is indeed tempting to use them.
