What's the Matter?
Published
Marketing is the matter; rather, marketing really matters. Everyone would agree with that. According to J. Walker Smith, president of the marketing firm Yankelovich, Inc., “We’ve gone from being exposed to about 500 ads a day (back in the 1970s) to as many as 5,000 ads a day today.” Our brains are bombarded with input and stimuli. A necessary evil? Perhaps. But most modern social good organizations realize they must play the game if they want to get ahead.
Why? Because there are more people, more products, more organizations, and more competition. Nonprofits must hustle to stand out among the hundreds of organizations like theirs. If you want to sell a product, gain a supporter, generate some buzz, or make a splash in the market, you must work for it.
