New Thinking About Consumer Marketing
"Customers take longer to find a solution than we think. Companies tend to focus on their initial contact with customers, believing that shoppers’ experience with a product or service begins when they walk into a store or visit a Web site.
In fact, their journey begins much, much earlier. The easy availability of information on the Internet today allows customers to form opinions from countless sources. Conversations on Facebook, e-mail, and discussion boards steer consumers well before companies have had a chance to pitch their product or service."

Why 'Cheap' May Really Be Expensive
Cheap-paradigm arrived at consumer electronics and sometimes (it seems) customers tend to forget natural laws. As my grand-father António used to say, we can't harvest tomorrow if we don't throw seeds and nurture the camp today...
this are not his words - but idea is similar ".. when a company continues to advance innovation in leaps and bounds through investment in R&D, or environmental compliance, or product quality, don’t be surprised that their products are priced appropriately. After all, ideas cost money. For companies, ideas and innovation are an investment for higher returns."
he also liked the expression "nothing is for free"....
