3.0 out of 5 stars Some interesting ideas which reflect our sad times, 30 Aug 2004

By	Bobby Elliott (Erskine, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Free Prize Inside: The Next Big Marketing Idea (Hardcover)

I have an interest in innovation and this little book (183 pages) sounded interesting. I wasn't disappointed. Seth Godin always has something interesting to say.

The "free prize" in the title refers to simple ideas which can differentiate a product from the competition. Note the "simple" - he advises against trying to come up with big ideas which are expensive and usually fail. He continues his attacks on traditional marketing and makes a persuasive argument against it. Instead of spending lots of money on mass marketing, he advocates that you concentrate on creating "remarkable" products. Not remarkable in the sense of being brilliant - simply worth talking about. He prefers "soft" innovation (simple, inexpensive) to "hard" innovation (driven by R&D) and argues that anyone can create soft innovations.

The sad bit is that most of the examples he provides are silly. Not silly in the sense that they won't work - they probably would - but silly in the sense that they don't actually add anything useful to the product/service - they simply make it stand-out from the crowd - which is probably what sells. Sad but true.

A good read and one I learnt from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, 21 Jul 2005

By	Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Free Prize Inside: The Next Big Marketing Idea (Hardcover)

If your organization needs to jump-start its creative processes, this accessible book may be helpful. It's broad enough to apply to all industries and has enough examples to provoke some serious thinking. Yet, Seth Godin, also the author of other zippy marketing books, sometimes gets carried away with his own evangelism and coinages (e.g., "edgecraft" for finding innovative product additions at the fringes of your current offerings). Still, Godin's thesis that small improvements and "soft" innovations can reap big benefits rings true, as his many examples make clear. His discussion about why ideas need champions, and how to be one, is also powerful. So if you want your marketing or product development staffers to juice up their creativity, we say this light little book might inspire them to think differently.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough content, 7 Nov 2009

By	Sulkyblue (London, UK) - See all my reviews

Seth Godin has some wonderful ideas, and some wonderful case studies and anecdotes to back them up, but this book could have been half as short and possibly have been more powerful without losing any content at all. The points can become a bit laboured, particularly as many of them seem totally obvious once they've been pointed out. But you're not reading the book for the writing, it's for the marketing concepts and those are absolutely fascinating.
