Not from here

One of the best brand strategies is… not from here. It can be from anywhere. So long as it’s not here. You see, we know everything and everyone from where we are. So it must be better if it’s from elsewhere. They know what they’re doing. They’ve been doing it for years. There’s all this history, or maybe it’s their technology. Whatever, they really know what they’re doing. So we’ll pay a lot more for it.

It feels semi romantic to pay $14.50 for a bar of soap hand made in Tuscany from capsicum and Amalfi red oranges. We unlock the power of our imagination.

  1. One of the best strategies also seems to be: from right around the corner. Witness growing demand for locally-grown/made in the US, etc.

  2. Well, This is really the information any online marketer must know before starting their online business.Lots guys gave up just because they chased the next big thing instead of trying to understand articles like this .
