“This shampoo prevents hair loss,” and “Do your drains get clogged often? Change your shampoo!” Which of the two messages is better? Both messages appeal to the shampoo’s effectiveness in reducing hair loss, with the former addressing the person experiencing this issue, and the latter targeting all family members, including him. Depending on how one interprets the impact of preventing hair loss, the sales results can vary significantly. Some view it as maintaining a good appearance, while others see it as a matter of hygiene and convenience. Linking product benefits to public interest offers many advantages. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The Japan Airlines that no one thought would ever recover. It was the biggest corporate bankruptcy in Japan. When Kyocera Group Chairman Emeritus Kazuo Inamori took the helm to save Japan Airlines, his priority was to reform the mindset of the employees. Whenever he could, he gathered all employees for lectures on mental reform, and executives were required to attend a separate lecture on mental reform given by Kazuo Inamori every Thursday without exception. The employees' frustration was palpable, but the company returned to the stock market after two years and eight months. There is no magic in running a company. Attitude and mindset are everything. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
