Good Bad Marketing
Why did I want to tell you about those ugly drawings? Well, you see, I go on loads and loads of websites throughout the day and most of them I forget, since there are just so many of them, but those bad illustrations have made me remember them. Is it bad that I remember them for something bad? No, it's not because the capabilities of their illustrator will in no way correlate to the quality of the service they provide. There's a trend in the business world to be very stoic and corporate, because people are worried about appearing unprofessional, but the problem with this is that, with so many businesses around, it means that not many actually stand out. Being unprofessional can be good for you, even it's not intended.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you should intentionally go out of your way to do loads of terrible marketing, but I am saying that bad marketing can come in handy. If something you were working on didn't quite turn out as you hoped, perhaps you could just use it anyway and it will still be effective? Just be sure that it's good bad marketing and not bad bad marketing! An example of bad bad marketing might be something that was deeply offensive or which didn't really reflect anything at all about the business it was supposed to market. But if you don't even have an eCommerce website yet, then sign up to Sellr now and get started for no cost at all!
