Language has a grammar for communication. In other words, there is a form, and communication is only possible when society agrees on that form. Therefore, in communication, form is often more important than content. Different fields in society use different grammars and preferred language styles. For example, there are separate grammars and vocabularies used in law, and the same goes for marketing. This is especially common in advertising and public relations, where the form is usually more important than the content. In a world where focusing only on the form can seem showy, and emphasizing only the content can cause communication problems. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We all know that seeing your business through the eyes of your customers increases your chances of success. But most of us mistakenly think we're seeing it from the customer's perspective while we see it as a supplier rather than a customer. Uber and Airbnb executives regularly use their services as customers. Try getting your family to buy your product or service. The more non-face-to-face the transaction, the more detailed the information the customers have about the sellers. If not about the product information, at least about the purchasing information. It doesn't matter how good your product is if they don't buy it, that's it! - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
