The Marketing Paradox

What is the marketing paradox?

There are many marketing paradoxes, but the two I'm going to focus on are

  • it's never been easier to be able to reach your customers, but the paradox of that is, so can everybody else.
  • differentiation versus amplification
  • This is the more common paradox spoken about.

    Using fancy marketing terms

    Differentiation is generally considered to be the longevity of your brand or your product.

    Amplification is the speed at which you can get people to recognize or to know, like, and trust you.

    There is a constant challenge in marketing between that differentiation and the amplification of whatever it is you're trying to market.

    You need to strike a balance, that is a paradox because you can't continuously be using amplification marketing methods or differentiation methods because that would be ineffective.

    Today marketing is a  bit more complicated than it used to be for garages, the independent garage sector, as a rule, is not great at marketing.

    I want to ask you, and these are the three questions

    • does your marketing differentiate your business?
    • Does your marketing do enough to stop people scrolling past when they're on social media and
    • does your marketing produce repeatable results?
    • If you've answered no to any of those things, then you probably need to listen to this podcast.
