minecraft is a very recent example, but to goto an older one, we could look at google. google beat out all its competitors and had very limited advertising. one of the reason that on of their top competitor (yahoo) even survived was because they owned a lot of google stock, before its ipo, which skyrocketed afterwards another company that doesnt advertise much (if at all) is berkshire hathoway and theyve been doing pretty darn well. theres a saying that good product doesnt need to be advertised, and i think google points that out the most. im not going to argue that advertisement cant help a product, but it certainly isnt necessary for success i also dont think facebook advertised much either, but im not sure |
Good examples there, they could have spent more on marketing and get success more rapidly but it wasnt needed.
