Description
TODAY'S CONSUMERS WANT EVERYTHING. YOU SHOULD GIVE IT TO THEM.
Marketers face a paradox. Consumers expect your brand to know everything about them--who they are, what they want, and why--and to deliver it at the exact moment they need it. But ad saturation and inbox clutter make them resent everything marketers do. In this environment, traditional approaches just won't cut it. Marketing to these entitled consumers demands a new strategy: consumer-first marketing. And this book, featuring a foreword by NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young, is the first to lay out how to do it.
Based on focus groups and surveys with 7,000 consumers, combined with the authors' experience with hundreds of brands, Marketing to the Entitled Consumer shows you everything you need to apply consumer-first marketing in your organization. You'll learn which data to collect--from purchase histories to pollen counts--and how to deploy it consistently across online, mobile, and real-world channels. You'll see how to build consumer connections that cut through the clutter with the three Rs: reciprocal value, relevance, and respectful empathy. You'll even get a roadmap on how to win over your fellow marketers and the rest of your company.
Read the book that the legendary marketing thinker Don Peppers called "a warning shot across the bow of traditional marketing." Then get to work. Your entitled consumers are ready for a new approach...are you?

Wonderful read. Marketing to the entitled consumer will convinve you to move from marketer-first to consumer-first marketing. There are examples of many companies in the book that have successfully used consumer data to personalize the buying experience. The entitled consumer research is amazing too. Recently i read ana rticle about people keeping some of their purchases like McDonalds and expensive purses a secret but a HBR study mentioned in the book goes into the depth of variety of consumer relationships like old friends, strangers and so on. Interesting read with good layout of pages for quick read.

Interesting and engaging book to read. This book is about customer-centric marketing which is very important in the age of digital and technology-empowered opportunities. Technology provides so much data and it is in the hands of businesses to use it at their benefit. The examples of companies in the book give a very good opportunity to understand practical insights and potentially "try on" in own business environment I have found the entitled consumer research very good.
The book is easy to read and is practically oriented. I recommend it to marketing, sales and business development people as there are many things that can be implemented in cross-functional practice.

Marketing To The Entitled Consumer is an interesting look at the current challenges faced by marketers in a world where consumers expect 100% satisfaction from every interaction and product they buy. They're fickle and will move on if you don't provide exactly what they expect. How we approach giving consumers what they want with our limited resources is a challenge all businesses will face and this book looks at how we provide such.
