When Millennials Market, Craziness Ensues

January 3, 2020

How this for logic?

Assertion: What you read in blog posts stopped working months ago.

Logic problem: This assertion appears in a blog post “5 Marketing Trends for 2020 by a Grumpy Martech CEO.”

Observation: The statement is contradicted by its appearance in a blog post.

Your view may be more generous than mine. That’s what makes life interesting.

What else does the write up reveal in its logical flourish?

  1. Don’t do cold calls. Observation: Yeah, but that’s what conventions are based on. Walking up to a person and introducing oneself and engaging in a conversation. If you do this, your are making a big mistake. Alternative: Telepathy maybe?
  2. Marketing tools do the same thing. Yeah, that’s a bold statement. But isn’t there a difference between relying on a networking event armed with a — horror of horrors — a printed brochure and buying Google AdWords? Same thing? No, gentle reader. No, no, no.
  3. Words don’t work. Got it. Videos with music. There you go.
  4. Use a new channel like a — wait for it — a directory. Example: Capterra? What? Isn’t that a hollow shell with a bit of fluff added for impact.

Amazing!
