About this listen
Face it, the checklist of tired P's marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed - Pricing, Promotion, Publicity, to name a few -aren't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important P that has to be added to the list. It's Purple Cow. Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or 10, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something.
Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat-out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff - a lot of brown cows - but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.
In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers.

"Godin's style is punchy and irreverent, using short, sharp messages to drive his points home. ....[H]is wide-ranging advice - be outrageous, tell the truth, test the limits and never settle for just 'very good' - is solid and timely." ( Publishers Weekly)

Color me Purple?
At least I'd like to be purple.
I read Seth Godin's blog posts every day, so I expected to be impressed by his book, but omigosh, I was amazed. His image of the purple cow will stay with me long after I forget the individual words. In this book he describes why it's important to stand out from the crowd and how to do it, in simple words. I highly recommend it to anyone in business.#Audible1

Is there much new here?
I appreciated this book as a way to remind myself that when marketing you need to do something different, "remarkable" as Seth Godin puts it. You will never win by chasing the guys who have already set the standard, e.g. trying to out Amazon Amazon, etc. But I don't feel like this idea is new. The whole time I listened I couldn't help thinking this is just a rehashing of the idea of a competitive advantage. You need to have something that other people don't have if you want to be successful, and leave price to Walmart, you won't win that war.
Just not sure what new ideas Seth Godin is really bringing to the business world. Seems like a simple re-packaging of basic concepts.
