Consumers Are Skeptical
Do you like chips? Have you noticed that most of the chips contain only half of the bag if not all, and the rest is filled with air?
Do you watch TV or YouTube videos? These are mediums of advertising. Somebody might be disappointed by the product he purchased recently, because it’s not what it was shown on TV.
This is about products and advertising not politics. I will try to write about the truth and lies about advertising for some reasons that I experience this in everyday living. I may not try to deliver it clearly but this is based on my own experience of the tangible product between what I saw on TV, Internet and or social media.
**Marketing Strategies**
Instant food products like noodles, 3 in 1 coffee and fast food restaurants paid famous actors to promote their product.
Burgers look bigger or Pizzas might be juicier than real in real life.
A fast food offers unli rice. A price tag might always have .99cents or even might have a buy one take one offer. A headache medicine tells that in just a couple of minutes, the headache will be gone.
A brand that has been selling good products for decades has been built by a business owner entrepreneur. They know how to tell stories about the products as it has been proven by the consumers for a long time.
**The Truth**
When your brand tells a story, it has to tap into people's feelings and make them believe that it is true.
You are putting into consideration about the product rather than to control his mindset.
Sometimes a brand story is not really the story you tell to people. It is the story of the consumers who gave feedback and reviews about the product.
**Reality**
Famous actors paid to advertise an instant noodle doesn’t really have it as their meal. They know the dangers of eating instant food. However they have been given favorable deals so they will act as if they really love to eat instant noodles.
A $100 shoe that has been said to have lowered its price to 50% is not really appealing.
**Sale!!! 50% Discount. Original price $100. You saved $50.**
Seriously? In reality you did not save $50 dollar at all, instead you spent $50 for a shoe.
**Consumers Are Skeptical**
You might wonder who am I to tell stories like this? Am I a Marketer, Entrepreneur or Investor? Hell no, I’m just one of the skeptical consumers like you.
**Do not be afraid of criticism**
It’s a natural habit for me to give feedback or frankly to criticize but don't get me wrong. Critics are important to you and me and to anyone else. Admit it.
A brand will not rebrand if they don’t receive feedback and criticism. So criticism helps them to become better and successful.
Sometimes we jump into conclusions if we abruptly receive remarkable critics. We instantly get carried away as if you were attacked by an enemy.
We are not at war, why are we afraid of criticism? Might as well criticize yourself often.
You can kill a critic but you can never kill criticism.
Spreading The Bitcoin Cash Awareness The Wrong Way
My English may not be good but who cares?
I need not have to make flowering introduction with this post. I wanted this to be concise as possible, and hopefully I can explain it well without being misunderstood.
So almost everyone if not all are making their way to spreading one type of crypto currency – the Bitcoin Cash. What is it with this that some people are getting paranoid of promoting it?
Honestly I don’t know about this so called crypto, the digital currency, like Bitcoin. To make it fair for everyone here, that makes their life easier with Bitcoin Cash, I conducted my own research to get fully understand what is it within the Crypto world.
Somehow it is clear to me that Bitcoin or Bitcoin cash is a digital currency. Not only that, I have also known that, there are several crypto currencies other than Bitcoin.
Okay, so you are making the people aware of this Bitcoin Cash like it is the peoples savior, no need to argue with that. If it can fill some food in everyone’s plate, or feed the hungry homeless people on the street, why would I disagree.
However, I can see that some Bitcoin Cash Enthusiast are making the spreading the word the wrong way. I saw post in other social media platform like encouraging people to write articles on read.cash and earn Bitcoin Cash, some even make the efforts of printing leaflets and distributing in their local community.
There is nothing wrong with that, at least you are making your best ways of making the people aware of what is Bitcoin Cash and how it will change people’s lives.
But the question is, how can you convince a starving man on the street to earn a Bitcoin Cash? If you tell him about the possibility that it will change his life do you think he will believe you? If you give flyers with the most promising information about Bitcoin cash do you think he will absorbed it?
You have to understand that this man is hungry and his most priority is to fill his stomach not his brain? How can he gain knowledge of this BCH awareness if his stomach is longing for food?
Consider this, you met a pauper on the street and you want to convince him to learn Bitcoin Cash. Your intentions are good and you are determined. You gave him a flyleaf of Bitcoin cash, another person came by and handed him food. What do you think is the next to happen? Obviously the pauper will get first the food, it will make him survive for at least a day.
I think it is best first to offer people something that fills his stomach, before introducing him to something that will change his life forever. That way he can at least think of how your good your intentions are. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to feed that entire community just to believe in your Bitcoin Cash awareness. But if you think you can, then why not. After all knowledge is gain by feeding the stomach first then, feeding the brain with valuable information’s. Besides, eating with someone on the same table builds a strong camaraderie. ♎
