Now more than ever marketers have an amazing opportunity to become better listeners, observers and problem solvers for consumers.

People just can't be put in boxes, and as marketers, we simply cannot afford to assume that consumers fit into the boundaries that we have previously defined.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30346489.post-59456232187404021722007-01-27T23:19:00.000-05:002007-01-27T23:19:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comment!

After living in Europe for 3 years, I am always amazed at how clear their airport signs are, with descriptive symbols, compared to airports in the US. Take a look from a non-English speaker's perspective the next time you travel in the US, and you will see what I mean.<br /><br />I especially agree with the references you included from David Wolfe. I am also disturbed by how many marketers group their customers by demographics alone without taking needs into account; I would add that Maslow's hierarchy is only a starting point!<br /><br />Also, thanks very much for including my recent lifecycle posts in your conclusion. I am honored!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30346489.post-13061092283570408032007-01-26T10:46:00.000-05:002007-01-26T10:46:00.000-05:00Thanks for putting together this comprehensive lis...Thanks for putting together this comprehensive list! CK is totally correct - it's great to read these different perspectives. On a different note, my new post on consumerism and culture shock is now live! <br /><br />http://blogtillyoudrop.wordpress.com/2007/01/26/too-much-noise/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30346489.post-4663183478943267142007-01-25T23:58:00.000-05:002007-01-25T23:58:00.000-05:00A tour-de-force post!

What I love is posts where the "whole is greater than the sum of their parts"...by expanding on Shouty's post and bringing so many perspectives in you made this so much more powerful. You also put a lot of heart and thought into this, I thank you.<br /><br />And what I especially love about the 'sphere is how I learn of these global viewpoints. Not sure why I spent so much on an MBA when I learn so MUCH more from you smart marketers.<br /><br />I'm going to update my post on this with a link here...too good to be missed. And I'm so pleased to know of your blog now. One could say you "floored" me (and they'd be right!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
