Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback, Wolfgang! πŸ™

It’s particularly valuable to hear this from such an experienced manager and marketing enthusiast like you are. That’s exactly the aim: to provide a clear process for winning customers and building loyalty, while ensuring all areas of the company are aligned behind a coherent customer strategy. More to come soon πŸ¦ŠπŸŽ“

This is a very good strategic document since it clearly shows how Marketing Managers can set up the process to gain customers and to make them loyal to the Company/brand. It is particularly of help when customer/user strategies shall be developed and the different areas within the company be aligned to these strategies.

This is great, I took notes! Would you say these strategies would differ if the product is a non-object artistic project? Perhaps a piece of creative writing instead of a functional object such as Lego?

Thank you for such an interesting question, Sabine. The core logic of the five steps also applies to artistic or non-object projects. It always begins with deeply understanding your audience, followed by a clear positioning that explains why someone should choose your project over others.The difference lies in the execution. For a novel or a piece of creative writing, the value proposition is less functional and more emotional or cultural: identity, inspiration, new perspectives. The channels for program and engagement also shift. Community building, personal networks, readings, or platforms like Substack often play a bigger role than traditional product promotion. πŸ¦ŠπŸŽ“
