Product Description
You're either a Purple Cow or you're not. You're either remarkable or invisible. Make your choice.
What do Starbucks and JetBlue and KrispyKreme and Apple and DutchBoy and Kensington and Zespri and Hard Candy have that you don't? How do they continue to confound critics and achieve spectacular growth, leaving behind former tried-and true brands to gasp their last?
Face it, the checklist of tired 'P's marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed -Pricing, Promotion, Publicity, to name a few-aren't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important 'P' that has to be added to the list. It's Purple Cow.
Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or ten, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something. Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff-a lot of brown cows-but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.
In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers who want to help create products that are worth marketing in the first place.

 Making your product stick out November 9, 2008
A munchie-size book saying: try to make your product stick out, so people notice it and start talking about it. If that was already obvious to you, then you don't need to read it.

Instantly Transforming! October 6, 2008
I read the PURPLE COW in one sitting and it changed my entire philosophy on how to build out SUCCESSFUL marketing for my new theater company. I have always held several of the book's concepts as core business values but it gave me complete perspective to know I am on the right path to becoming REMARKABLE! This is one book you simply can not pass up if you intend to survive TODAY in any market. Confused or discouraged about how to reach people with YOUR business? Then you need PURPLE COW!
