Author Dave Siegel will speak about the innovation myth "Great Ideas Sell Themselves," at the upcoming PDMA/AMA conference on innovation in Cincinnati on Nov. 17th. His book, Innovation Myths and Mythstakes, is a bestseller for PMP.
Dave says. "One of the biggest reasons behind great ideas ultimately failing to achieve success lies in communication. All too often, what could be a great idea is misunderstood within the company itself. Too often great ideas never hit the marketplace because a key member of the decision team never truly understood how it benefited them. CFO's want profits, CEO's want growth and ROI and company fit. Sales teams need to know how the idea fits with the rest of the line they sell, etc. etc. etc. The innovator? Well he just has the "idea!"
"Then, there is the huge challenge of communicating the idea to the consumer. Oftentimes the idea is researched with full blown, well-stated, highly illustrated concept statements. Yet, when it is time to actually introduce the idea to the marketplace, the only communication consumers see is a small burst on a package or a 2 inch internet banner ad or at best, a 15-second commercial. It's a shame, all that work by R&D, Marketing, Sales and Research and then the consumer gets a tiny message and goes 'Huh?'"

Thanks DORIS WALSH ! What I think banner ads is great idea of advertising the brand. IN fact, its very cheap one as compared to other ways of marketing & advertising.
