He was – and is – a guy who refused to be reigned in by rules, and grew a manufacturing company of one from borrowed capital to well over $10 million and 100 plus employees in just a few years. The secret to his success? I think there are two. First, he was out of options; it was a case of succeed or surrender. Secondly, he put marketing in pole position. As he once told me, “I think marketing is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing. Maybe even more important than manufacturing.” &lt;/span&gt;    &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Now he didn't support that sentiment by sending pink slips to the entire QC department, but he did back it up in his marketing budget to great effect. I have since seen firsthand that you can be a first-class manufacturer with a perfect product but no one will know about it if you endorse it with mediocre marketing. Remarkable marketing, on the other hand, makes the difference between ordinary and extraordinary whether it’s a product, service, idea - or even a person. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p  style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;It may seem extreme, but that kind of 'maximized marketing' will work just as well for you as it did for him!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6136720456893737697-8912402535497670660?l=enduracom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://enduracom.blogspot.com/feeds/8912402535497670660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6136720456893737697&amp;postID=8912402535497670660' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6136720456893737697/posts/default/8912402535497670660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6136720456893737697/posts/default/8912402535497670660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://enduracom.blogspot.com/2008/07/marketing-or-bust.html' title='MARKETING OR BUST!'/><author><name>Creative NRG</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12758902745343312154</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136720456893737697.post-6799496922856532926</id><published>2008-07-17T08:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T17:18:02.729-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;endurance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;n. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the principle Enduracom is built upon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);"&gt;the ability or strength to continue or last, despite fatigue, stress, or other adverse conditions; stamina, staying power, stick-to-it-iveness, moxie and heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;endure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;v. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;what you should expect from your design communications&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);"&gt;2. continue, persist, last, abide, sustain, go on, outlast, survive, prevail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;For design communications that go the distance, and a company that will hang in for the long haul, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;check out our Web site or email us now!
