How does Shiny Object Matrix work:

Shiny Objects Marketing is a philosophy we developed over 20 years from the ground up. Founded upon principles that lead to measurable results, Shiny Objects Marketing is a proprietary, no-nonsense approach and set of tools, processes and a workshop designed to finding your shiny object.

The basic fundamental principle of Shiny Objects Marketing is to determine what innate qualities of a brand instinctually attract the target market. The objective is to bypass the conscious decision process and go right to reflex action. When you are really thirsty you don’t think about being attracted to water, you just are. Shiny Objects Marketing goes beyond features and benefits and reaches into the needs that people have.

This concept is so powerful and unique that Wiley and Sons has published our book on the subject and is available through all major bookstores.

The first step of implementing the Shiny Objects philosophy into your company is to conduct a Shiny Object Workshop. This is a day-long, hands-on seminar in which the attendees learn how to:
  1. Grab the attention of their prospective customers
  2. Create a driving curiosity so that prospects will be interested in the products and services the company has to sell
  3. Stimulate the desire to touch and try the products and services
  4. Produce the emotions that will make customers want more
  5. Demand possession of the company’s brand and become lifelong customers

The Workshop delivers practical results you can put to work immediately:

  1. Clear and precise definition of your Shiny Object
  2. Completed Shiny Object Quadrant Model
  3. Clear understanding of how to move a prospect through the Shiny Objects steps to become a customer
  4. Identification of factors that hide your Shiny Object
  5. Completed worksheets that document all rationale
  6. Complete understanding of how to incorporate the Shiny Object Marketing philosophy into company culture
  7. Establish next steps to implement a program to fully utilize Shiny Object Marketing

Why Shiny Objects Marketing will change the way you market forever:

People, as all creatures, are innately attracted to shiny objects. If you can make your brand, product, or service a shiny object to your customers and prospects, you’ll be immensely successful.

The principles taught in the Shiny Object Workshop are not just about selling the next corkscrew or hair clip. They’re about creating brands that can’t be ignored. While other marketing concepts use meaningless buzzwords, worn-out clichés, and impossible-to-replicate programs, Shiny Objects Marketing relates to almost any person, regardless of marketing experience or budget. It reaches right down to our primeval instincts and taps into forces we can’t resist.

Shiny Objects Marketing was designed to have two distinct differences over other marketing approaches:
  1. It relates to instincts, not cognitive processes – you don’t think about the action, you just act.
  2. It is extremely simple to understand and implement. Unlike most other marketing concepts that require an MBA to figure out, Shiny Objects Marketing is designed so that everyone can use it.
