Are you ready to rethink marketing? Here are 11 takeaways from the book Purple Goldfish 2.0:
1. Your brand is no longer just what you tell people it is. It’s what your customer experiences, how they feel, and most importantly, what they tell others about their experience.
2. There is no such thing as just meeting customer expectations.
3. Experience design is the next frontier of marketing and brand building.

5. Going forward, marketing will be about achieving customer-getting distinction by differentiating what you do and how you operate.

7. Take care of the customers you have . . . they’ll bring you the customers you want.
8. The majority of how we judge others and brands comes down to warmth and competence.
9. Lagniappe is the idea of doing a little something extra. They are signals that honor the relationship with your customer.
