Resumen del Editor

Purple Cow was the number-one best-selling marketing book on Amazon in 2003. Now, in Free Prize Inside, Seth Godin is back with practical advice on how to put Purple Cow thinking to work inside your organization (big or small, profit or non) to make something happen.

The next big marketing idea is a proven strategy for making your products or services so remarkable that they practically sell themselves. Purple Cow taught marketers the value of standing out from the herd, which is how companies like Krispy Kreme and JetBlue made it big. But it left readers hungry for more: How do you actually think up new Purple Cows? And how do you get them adopted by risk-averse Brown Cow companies?

Free Prize Inside delivers those answers and much more. It's a fun guide to doing innovative marketing that really works when the traditional approaches have all stopped working.

Thirty years ago, the best way to sell something was to advertise it on television. But today's consumers are cynical, and your product or service had better be more than just hype and clever advertising. Even better, it ought to come with a market-changing innovation - a free prize inside.

You don't have to spend a fortune to create something cool that virtually sells itself. Think of simple but powerful innovations like the Tupperware party, Flintstones vitamins, G.I. Joe (a doll just for boys), Lucille Roberts (a gym just for women), and frequent flier miles. Free Prize Inside will teach you how to create those kinds of blockbusters at your own company without a bunch of MBA-brainwashed marketers. You don't have to be a genius - you just need curiosity, initiative, and a strategy for overcoming resistance when you champion your idea.

We're all marketers now, no matter what our job titles. With Godin's help, we can find the free prize that will transform our companies.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Seth Godin may be the best intuitive marketer alive today." (Randall Rothenberg)

oh, the goodies hiding inside.

This book was a natural progression for my learning to make my Purple Cow. Helped me develop a good idea, I'll run with it.

Free prize is like a 2 for 1 deal

This is one of Seth Godin's best books. It's the followup to the ground-breaking Purple Cow. What's great about this book is that it is able to stand alone. Even if you have never read Purple Cow you will still get everything you need from this book. Because this book needed to be able to stand alone, Seth spends the opening portion of the text going over the concept of the Purple Cow. The remainder of the book focuses on how to implement the Purple Cow philosophy. So really, you get all the concepts from 2 Seth books for the price of one. Plus, it is very concise; everything you need to know is delivered in under 3 hours. How's that for value!

F-U-N-TASTIC!

Another excellent little book by Seth. I am arming myself with everything I can find on small niches, and Seth Godin is perfect. Thanks Seth. :D

First audio book I have ever finished.

I am a book in hand kind of girl. But driving 16 hours this weekend, and I needed to be entertained. I just discovered Seth Godin, somehow he has escaped my first 30 years of life, and I finished two of his books this weekend and I am on page 50 of my third. #inlove

Such a helpful book!

Even though this book was Dated,the information and it was extremely helpful. The marketing tips that I received from this book are going to benefit me in anyways. I highly recommend this read.

Another gem from Seth

Seth Godin is undoubtedly the pied piper of marketing for our generation. Except that it's not just about marketing anymore is it? It's about how to build a successful venture in the 21st century. THis particular book was great for helping me to come up with a few ideas about what the added extra is that I offer with my own consulting services. Fantastic work yet again.

Best yet. Love Godin.

This fits after Leap First, after The Icarus Deception, and after Purple Cow. This will stoke your firebox, when understood in this context. Brilliant.
