Many startups still believe marketing is a dirty word…
But while there are examples of “bad” companies who’ve used marketing to edge out better alternatives...
There are also lots of respected companies who know a solid
marketing plan is one of the most important parts of creating
significant user growth.
As Fog Creek put it…
[i]“Marketing isn’t about scamming or duping people. It’s about communicating to people what they want.[/i]
[i]Engineers
often treat marketing like it is black magic, but really, it comes down
to making sure the people whose lives you are aiming to improve with
your software actually hear about you.[/i]
[i]If they
don't hear about you, they'll be stuck using whatever duct-taped
together work-around they are forced to use in the absence of your
software. That isn't good for them and it isn't good for your company.”[/i]
They’re not alone in their assessment, either.
