The Power of Mass Media Spends

I've found this chart at Brand Autopsy blog.

Chart The chart shows the disproportion between the media spend and achieved market share amongst Top 10 restaurant chains. Starbucks has definitely exceptional position: the lowest media spend and 6th position on the chart. As John Moore points out, it is a good example that investing in better products and consumer expriences works better  than millions spend on mass advertising. It is very enlightening chart, it shows where you should shift your focus and it proves user experience is not just another buzz word. It works. Sturbucks has proven it.
Mass media dollars power is decreasing. You have to be clever and have your eyes and ears wide open in order to understand the markets and get the most for your $$$. SOURCE: Ad Age (Jan. 1, 2007)

To Multitask Or To Not Multitask We are running all of the time all the time. Sometimes we wish the days to be longer then 24 hours. We sleep for 1/3 of our lives, it leaves us only 2/3 to make all those things we wish and want to do. I can tell, it is not enough. We try artificially to extend the time we have: we drink coffee, lots of coffee, we reduce the time we sleep, we cut on some "unnecessary" social activities, like family dinners, and we multitask.We multitask because we believe that less can be turned out into more. Yes, I do multitask myself, hmm...even now. Stereo is on and I write to the sound of Mahler's V Symphony, the gmail notifier is active, so I can check out if there is anything new in my inbox and of course my mobile is in my pocket, so I can feel it when someone calls me up or sends me a message. Besides I am also ON, to say it straight around 90% of the time I am up. Sometimes I don't even turn out my laptop or phone when I do yoga or meditate at home (I know that's very bad habit!...

Brain Fitness Take a break and train your brain a little by solving the ridlle, Albert Einstein wrote when he w as a boy and said 98% of the world couldn't solve it. The only way to the solution is the pure logic. It is a good fitness for the brain, and when you solve it, you get the bonus - satisfaction of being amongst 2% of people who can use logic. :-) There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a man with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage. The question is: "Who owns the fish?" Hints: The Brit lives in the red house. The Swede keeps dogs as pets. The Dane drinks tea. The green house is on the left of the white house. The green house's owner drinks coffee. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. The man living in the center house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house....
