INSIGHT

Ideas Need a Medium to Travel

  • Ideas need a horse, a medium, to travel effectively to others.
  • Positioning ideas next to well-known concepts helps people understand and remember them better.
ADVICE

Leverage Known Concepts For Positioning

  • Use known reference points to quickly explain your idea by comparing it to existing products.
  • Clearly state how yours is better or different to gain mental foothold in the listener's mind.
ADVICE

Start Simple With Email Marketing

  • Avoid spending money on complicated technology first; use simple tools like email to share your idea.
  • Deliver content directly to people's inboxes for better engagement and sharing than expecting visits to websites.
