staying on the other side of the majority

Yesterday, I saw this quote:

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” (I think it’s from Mark Twain)

Here are what I see from the majority:

~ baiting content with very little depth

~ discount > relationship

~ acquisition > retention

~ optin rate > customer lifetime value

~ flashy banner emails > storytelling

~ selling the click > selling the belief

(and getting more clients > keeping your best clients)

Sounds familiar?

Then, it’s time to pause and reflect.

Talk soon,

PS – “BOOOO”

“Yen, this email isn’t entertaining. I want funny stories!”

Fine.

“If the majority always made the right decision, we’d still be using Internet Explorer.”
