Talk Too Much
July 24th, 2009
How are you competing with this?
A USA Today article says that consumers today encounter from 3,500 to 5,000 marketing messages per day, vs. 500 to 2,000 in the 1970s, says J. Walker Smith, president of consumer and marketing watcher Yankelovich.
As parents we need to consider how many marketing messages our children see on a daily basis.
- How much television do we allow them to watch?
- How much radio do they listen to?
- How much time do they spend on the computer?
The fact of the matter is the business world spends a great deal of money to know how our kids think and act more than most of us will ever consider. If you are not leading them, someone OR something else is.
I ask you this . . .
Of all the thousands of messages your kids see, hear, and feel on a daily basis . . . how many of them are coming from you?
