Lightbulb Famous Marketing Quotes

I thought I would share some of my all time favorite marketing quotes with you all, feel free to add some of your own favorite quotes to this thread!
I try and read these as I start each day, goes well with my morning Oatmeal!

"The things we fear most in organizations - fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances - are the primary sources of creativity."
Margaret J. Wheatley

"It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required."
Sir Winston Churchill


"Strive for excellence, not perfection."
H. Jackson Brown Jr.

"Without passion, you don't have energy; without energy, you have nothing. Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion."
Donald Trump

"If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner."
Zig Ziglar

"All of us perform better and more willingly when we know why we're doing what we have been told or asked to do."
Zig Ziglar

"Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising."
Mark Twain

"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence."
Eddie Robinson

"Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink."
Leo Burnett

"Advertising is the life of trade."
Calvin Coolidge

"What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form."
David Ogilvy

"The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice."
George Eliot

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
Thomas A. Edison

"A clear vision, backed by definite plans, gives you a tremendous feeling of confidence and personal power."
Brian Tracy

"You can have the best product or service in the world, but if people don't buy - it's worthless. So in reality it doesn't matter how wonderful your new product or service is. The real question is - will they buy it?"
Noel Peebles

"The sole purpose of marketing is to sell more to more people, more often and at higher prices. There is no other reason to do it."
Sergio Zyman

"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it."
William Arthur Ward

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."
Robert Collier

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."
Albert Einstein

"It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."
Gerard Patrick Roeling

"Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice."
Anton Chekhov

"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
Peter Drucker

"You now have to decide what 'image' you want for your brand. Image means personality. Products, like people, have personalities, and they can make or break them in the market place."
David Ogilvy

"Every advertisement should be thought of as a contribution to the complex symbol which is the brand image."
David Ogilvy

"If you don't believe in your product, or if you're not consistent and regular in the way you promote it, the odds of succeeding go way down. The primary function of the marketing plan is to ensure that you have the resources and the wherewithal to do what it takes to make your product work."
Jay Levinson

"The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself."
Peter F. Drucker

"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."
Will Durant

"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."
Thomas Jefferson

"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work."
Aristotle

All the best,

Adam T.

Albert Einstein told us "Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value."

This is one many Young Entrepreneurs should consider "There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. If you get away with it, you are brave. If you don't, you are stupid." Francis T. Escario

"Nothing of worth or weight can be achieved with half a mind, with a faint heart, and with a lame endeavor" Isaac Barrow

"The art of using moderate abilities to advantage often brings greater results than actual brilliance." Francois de La Rochefoucauld

If you have an iVideoLocal campaign and send us a new customer we bonus you an additional 5,000 video ads for your next months campaign (this is a limited time offer)

If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.
Jeff Bezos

“We're obviously going to spend a lot in marketing because we think the product sells itself.”
Jim Allchin

“The more facts you tell, the more you sell. An advertisement’s chance for success invariably increases as the number of pertinent merchandise facts included in the advertisement increases.”
Dr. Charles Edwards

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak.

Overused words do not work. Instead of relying on words at all, offer evidence. Offer the compelling stories -- the case studies, awards, business growth, achivements -- that make those adjectives unnecessary - Harry Beckwith

Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted, and the problem is I don't know which half - Lord Leverhulme (British founder of Unilever)
