In designing your digital marketing effectiveness, it pays to know what has helped the major players in the business world to succeed. Many people do not triumph or last long in their industry because they copy the failures around them. When you do what everyone around you is doing, you are likely to fail. Those who prosper are those who choose to be brave and ignore the obvious path. Courage is what built giant companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft.
Warren Buffett's Trick
Billionaire Warren Buffett summarized his investment strategy. Avoid what others love, and love what others avoid. In digital marketing effectiveness, you should examine what your competitors love to do. Make a list of their marketing behaviors, such as easy, popular, America, English, fast, email spamming, Facebook, Twitter, debt, stingy, high prices, or practical. These behaviors have a lot of competition. If you insist on doing all of them, you will not be improving your digital marketing strategy. Along with your competitors, you will be fighting over a shrinking pie. As Buffett recommends, you should avoid what others love.
What are your competitors avoiding? Things such as hard, unpopular, international markets, foreign languages, slow, mail, Baidu, Wechat, saving, generous, low prices, or imaginative. Since there are fewer competitors in these digital marketing behaviors, your chances of success are higher if you take advantage of them. You can perpetually keep coming up with more market behaviors by strategically avoiding whatever your competitors are loving, and loving whatever your rivals are avoiding.
