Agreed. Having the right customer is key because they tend to become influencers.

Great to look at things in a new way…just because we've always gone the “more is better” route doesn't mean it is always so. Sometimes yes, but it is better for customers to continue to be more savvy and companies to realize the blowhorn tactic is wearing thin. Raising the bar for marketers and customers – not such a bad thing.

More customers, less time for me? That's pretty good, I think I can use that!

Great Blog! I believe that more people think about this, but they do not verbalize it as well as you have.

Thanks for the reminder that marketing tactics are everywhere.

It's not the hope of the marketers, its a fact that bandwagon influence techniques work – and have worked since forever. “#1 Movie in America” “Top-Selling Car in Florida!” “Most-watched Show on TV!” People tend to be comfortable doing what everyone else is doing – or what they believe everyone else is doing. Works in social media too, that's why these self-proclaimed social media “experts” want to amass a ton of followers, “If everyone else is following them, then I should too.” Yes?

Let the companies who have 42x more customers than their competitors pat themselves on the back – they've earned it. And probably did it without any help from social media.

Nuff said.
