1.9 : 营销短视

Marketing Myopia occurs when businesses prioritize product sales over understanding customers' needs, displaying a shortsighted approach.

A business that sells hammers might believe its sole focus has to be hammers. In reality, the core of this business focuses on meeting people's needs for tasks like nailing, hanging pictures, and building things.

Shifting the focus from selling products to addressing customer problems helps prevent Marketing Myopia.

Consider Kellogg's. When it initially launched in India, it overlooked the diverse Indian breakfast culture, known for its rich variety and flavors.

In comparison, Kellogg's cereals were considered pricey, less fulfilling, and bland.

Additionally, the rooster mascot, Cornelius, led vegetarians to believe the product contained meat, causing further reluctance.

This cultural oversight nearly led to Kellogg's failure in the Indian market.

That's why keeping the customers' needs, market trends, preferences, and cultural nuances at the forefront of the business strategy is essential.

It helps avoid Marketing Myopia.
