Mark Walters and Ron Kranz presented on the concept of a "purple cow" and how being remarkable, unique, and different can help businesses stand out. The key points are:
1) A "purple cow" refers to something that is so remarkable that it catches people's attention, like a purple cow would amidst brown cows.
2) Businesses should aim to create remarkable products/services and find advocates to help spread the word, rather than relying on mass marketing.
3) By focusing on a niche and being remarkable within it, businesses can reduce competition and differentiate themselves for effortless marketing.
4) The goal is to attract early adopters who will influence others through word
This 10-point guide provides tips for successful sales of exhibits, sponsorships, and advertising at associations. The tips include knowing your products, audiences, and prospects inside and out; targeting low hanging fruit opportunities first; creating a strong media kit; developing partners rather than just purchasers; thinking creatively and creating a sense of urgency; marketing aggressively but respectfully; making it easy for prospects to say yes; trusting salespeople; and keeping the sales process simple.
