About the Book:

Purple Cow interprets something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and thrilling 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 take a chance they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing method that you can punch on to your product or service. Purple Cow is innate. It's built right in, or it's not there.

In Purple Cow, Seth Godin advises you to put a Purple Cow into everything you invent, and everything you do, to build something truly evident. It's a manifesto for marketers who want to assist establish products that are worth marketing in the first place.

Godin urges marketing communities to throw away the conventional Ps of marketing: Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Packaging, Positioning, and People. Instead, concentrate on the following:

• Purple cow

• Purple marketing

• Innovation

• Collaboration

The advice that Godin gave is to stand out you must be remarkable and to be remarkable you must be imaginative. In today’s bunched marketplace, there’s no room for “ordinary” products or services anymore; either you’re incredible or you die. To become remarkable, you need to boldly take chances and not worry about judgment. Then, when you start circulating the word of your remarkable product or service, you need to target the people who are both inclined to try new things, and willing to spread the word to others.
