What is Marketing

• The goal of marketing – to find a customer
  who is willing to buy

• Marketing is the language that makes a
  customer understand about the
  product/offering so that he can then decide to
  buy
Some of my opinions about start-ups
• Marketing is the most ignored discipline in a start-up –
  especially in India
• Most start-ups outsource this work
• Majority of entrepreneurs are left-brained and hence
  think marketing requires a creative right-brained
  person
• Ask a start-up about what they do – and they will tell
  you a Ramayana in a language you don’t understand
• After all – start-ups love their product and believe that
  the product will attract customers and will sell like hot
  cakes all by itself
The Marketing Mix
•   Product - Customer solution
•   Price   - Customer cost
•   Place   - Convenience
•   Promotion – Communication

• A customer asks the following
    – What is it
    – How much is it
    – Where can I get it
A simple framework for startup
           marketing
1. What is the need of your product
• Make a very simple “1 liner” about what your
  product does. Even your grandmother should
  be able to understand it
• Put yourself in the shoes of the customer
  when you say it – does it help him
• Use plain words. Avoid jargon
• Be passionate. It should raise your hair every
  time you hear it
2.Show your wares – demo etc
3. Identify your customer and market
•   Visualize what he looks like
•   How he thinks
•   How he lives, eats
•   How he decides to buy something
•   What is his background
•   What language he speaks
•   What are his likes/dislikes
•   Where are they clustered
•   How they move/behave etc
4.Identify a language to communicate
•   Brochure
•   Website
•   Collaterals
•   PPTs
•   Literature
•   Case study
•   Video
•   Testimonials
5. Fix your pricing and distribution
6. Don’t be shy
• Drum your company/product as much as you
  can – even when you are having dinners
• Avoid the usual mistakes - invest a lot on
  brand creation before product is ready etc.
• Visit as many colleges and speak. If you are
  not invited, that means noone knows you
• Write (not blog) in those publications that
  people read
• But do it in style – don’t slobber people
Thank you for your time

  • 16. What is Marketing • The goal of marketing – to find a customer who is willing to buy • Marketing is the language that makes a customer understand about the product/offering so that he can then decide to buy
  • 17. Some of my opinions about start-ups • Marketing is the most ignored discipline in a start-up – especially in India • Most start-ups outsource this work • Majority of entrepreneurs are left-brained and hence think marketing requires a creative right-brained person • Ask a start-up about what they do – and they will tell you a Ramayana in a language you don’t understand • After all – start-ups love their product and believe that the product will attract customers and will sell like hot cakes all by itself
  • 18. The Marketing Mix • Product - Customer solution • Price - Customer cost • Place - Convenience • Promotion – Communication • A customer asks the following – What is it – How much is it – Where can I get it
  • 19. A simple framework for startup marketing
  • 20. 1. What is the need of your product • Make a very simple “1 liner” about what your product does. Even your grandmother should be able to understand it • Put yourself in the shoes of the customer when you say it – does it help him • Use plain words. Avoid jargon • Be passionate. It should raise your hair every time you hear it
  • 21. 2.Show your wares – demo etc
  • 22. 3. Identify your customer and market • Visualize what he looks like • How he thinks • How he lives, eats • How he decides to buy something • What is his background • What language he speaks • What are his likes/dislikes • Where are they clustered • How they move/behave etc
  • 23. 4.Identify a language to communicate • Brochure • Website • Collaterals • PPTs • Literature • Case study • Video • Testimonials
  • 24. 5. Fix your pricing and distribution
  • 25. 6. Don’t be shy • Drum your company/product as much as you can – even when you are having dinners • Avoid the usual mistakes - invest a lot on brand creation before product is ready etc. • Visit as many colleges and speak. If you are not invited, that means noone knows you • Write (not blog) in those publications that people read • But do it in style – don’t slobber people
