The key to success in the new game of marketing and sales is to be able to capture the attention of the largest amount of people possible, and once you have it, do something with it... maybe sell them something.
The fight for your attention grows exponentially, with tons of images, commercials, banners, radio announcements, internet pop ups and more, to the point that it is hard to remember what we saw or heard during our day... and then suddenly... boom... Jessica Simpson... pregnant... and totally nude... in the cover of a main stream magazine... this one got the attention of both women and men alike... you hear people comment... "Did you see Jessica Simpson pregnant? She looks beautiful!"... Yeah I saw her... she was pregnant and naked!... how could I miss her?
A day like today, you visit http://www.google.com/trends/ and you find out that Jessica Simpson Pregnant made it to the top 10 strongest trends today March 8th 2012. This is why your "headline" or your "big fat claim" in your sales presentation or your advertising has to scream at the people to demand their attention. Ask yourself, when you promote yourself, when you pitch your product, when your write a press release, do you really grab peoples attention of your prospect as much as the magazines did with the front cover picture of Jessica Simpson pregnant and naked? Well, if does not, maybe it is time you go back to your war room and optimize your brainwashing stuff... now!
Nicely written article! I am so glad that someone agrees that naked, sex, or celebrities are what gets all the attention. Bookmarked and shared!
ReplyDeleteI remember this was the biggest deal ever a few days ago. I personally could care less if a celebrity is naked or not. But it's absolutely true!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to BrainWashingPeople, but this blog is awesome! It really does talk about how people become brainwashed and how you can profit from it (essentially). Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat points here, but the problem is it's really hard (in my opinion) to scream at people in this same way, like trying to demand to get the attention first (before a big media company does). It's hard to think of ideas.
ReplyDeleteDo we need and/or want to see celebrities naked and pregnant? I get the maternity photo thing – I carried twins and I loved carrying them. For celebs it’s always the same pose & same debate. I’m a Photoshopper-From-Hell and I’m here to tell ya that something is fishy in the state of Denmark: Frankly? I think that’s JS’s head… grafted onto someone else’s body. The whole thing kooks REALLY weird to me… BTW… is she expecting Quadruplets? Anyway, that is beautiful and sexy how? That’s tacky and pornographic to me and to many people. But yes it does draw attention.
