More Is the Wrong Place to Start

Sure, the end goal of all marketing is more.

More customers or subscribers. More sales and increased profits.

This is the reason business strategy questions and answers often begin, (and end) with “how to” get more.

But more is the wrong place to start for two reasons.

When you begin by asking, “How can we sell more?” you’re bypassing the question that comes before it, which is — “Why will people want more?”

And, what makes a good business a great brand isn’t more.

It’s more of the right customers who believe in the STORY.

Sure, aim for more.

But remember it’s meaning that scales.
