Here are some considerations and figures that may help you determine the relative cost-per-value ratio of your marketing campaign
I watched Cool Hand Luke on TV the other night. It is an old movie (1967) staring Paul Newman in the lead role along with George Kennedy. There is an assortment of other actors who I recognized more by their voices than their very young faces – including Wayne Rogers from the MASH TV series, and Dennis Hopper.
The story is set in 1948 at a Southern US chain-gang prison. It lives up to the label of a classic movie – enjoyable to watch and full of powerful messages.
Luke the Teenager Icon
I remembered first watching and revering this movie as an impressionable teenager. There is a lot about this movie to appeal to teenagers – non-conformity, rebellion, standing up to the man….
This time I viewed this movie as an entrepreneur and noticed some important lessons. Paul Newman as Luke demonstrates some critical elements of an entrepreneur. He also demonstrates the common mistakes that some entrepreneurs make.
Luke the Entrepreneur
Luke, like an entrepreneur, is an independent thinker, anti-authority, bold and positive minded. Luke, who earns the nickname “Cool Hand” after he wins a poker game entirely on bluffing, emanates confidence even when he holds a losing hand. Unshakable confidence is the most important ingredient in an entrepreneur’s success. Luke appears unafraid even when he is unfairly sentenced to severe punishment
There's a buzz going around the marketing world at the moment that "Most advertising does not work".I have to disagree.It should really read "Most advertising does not work because people do not know how to do it correctly!"It really is a shame to see so many busineses waste thousands of pounds each year through ineffective advertising. You might as well put a match to your cheque as you might get a better return!The amount of times that I have gone into a company and reviewed their

Moving house is very stressful. It can be as stressful as going through a divorce and if the house move is as a result of a relationship breakup then the stress can be off the scale. Yet, if you are like most people, you have to do the bulk of the work yourself while still working at your job, looking after the kids and dealing with whatever ongoing demands and problems you must face in your daily life. Larger removal companies that might provide a packing service are very expensive and lack the personal touch most of us d

Small and mid-size companies looking to go public usually think IPO (Initial Public offering), but find it difficult to get an underwriter to look at them. They go out an engage a consultant that advises them to do a reverse merger and they usually jump into it head first without exploring the options.If you have read some of my previous articles you may find this repetitious, but I can’t emphasis enough the importance of selecting a good consultant. A consultant that is working for you and you alone, and does

To begin, we call upon the clarity of our niche target market, and make sure we've got the decks cleared of any doubt or fear that might be trying to sneak in. Then we set up a system for what we offer, how we speak about what we offer and how we create relationships with those that want to work with us (aka, gain the commitment).This system is of UTMOST importance. You would be surprised how many people ‘wing it.' Now, with that being said, it's also important this system is natural to you-that's why YOU need to de
Luke demonstrates the unstoppable persistence of entrepreneurs in his boxing match with the prison yard bully (George Kennedy). Luke is clearly out-matched and is knocked repeatedly to the ground, yet he persistently gets up only to be knocked down again. George Kennedy firsts warns then begs Luke to “Stay down”. Luke replies, “You’re gonna hafta kill me.” Perhaps the movie “Rocky” got its genesis from this scene. The boxing match ends with George Kennedy walking away instead of hitting Luke again. Sometimes entrepreneurs win through pure persistence.
In another demonstration of the entrepreneurial spirit, Luke proclaims, “I can eat 50 eggs.” Luke’s rational: “It seemed like a good round number.” Typical of entrepreneurs - believing in something only they can see - bold, attention-grabbing and pushing themselves beyond the established limits. This stunt shows the knack of a great marketer.
Why does Luke fail?
In the end Cool Hand Luke does fail – because despite all these entrepreneurial traits he lacks two critical elements.
He does not have a clear goal. He is just goofing off. He is behaving
