Noted marketing author and speaker Guy Kawasaki has for years espoused the powerful benefits of enchantment in marketing. “The three pillars of enchantment are likability, trustworthiness and a great product or service.

Both trial and error and experience make it easier over time to set aside the promotional techniques that don’t combine well with others, such as running paid advertising promoting the latest game on Facebook and using demographic age targeting, but choosing only those over 80 years old. It’s the only chance we have to bring the best to the most.” — Andy Crestodina @crestodina Click To Tweet Turn the mirror on yourself and strive for using the promotion tactics that would make you take notice, click on a link to see what else is on tap, follow a person or brand on social channels, or even sign up for an email newsletter.

Innovate With Your Own Unique Promotion Twists & Tactics

No matter how many fine lists, guides, articles, or books you read about the art of promotion, unless you innovate and create unique and enchanting opportunities, your marketing success will generally be limited.

“The three pillars of enchantment are likability, trustworthiness and a great product or service. If you have these down pat, you could rub two sticks together and enchant people.” @GuyKawasaki Click To Tweet

Promotion can be like cooking, with vast archives of tried and true recipes and cookbooks handed down through the generations. Most are sure to please, but they often offer the same old flavors and tastes, probably making a boring meal for anyone looking for new combinations that push the boundaries of culinary arts. You can do better, as Paul Hollywood might say on “The Great British Baking Show.”

From Comfort Marketing To The Enchanting Unknown

While there is marketing success to be had in giving your audience what they’ve always wanted in the past — a sort of comfort marketing — I think there is greater potential when you’re able to take your customers into the unknown, with enchanting promotion that amazes and delights.

Search engines have put more and more of the world at our fingertips every year, and just as many exotic food ingredients have made their way into the mainstream, the number of promotion tactics from marketers around the world has similarly exploded, making it harder than ever to truly innovate in a direct way.
