Creating a strong brand and establishing a leadership position in the market is a top priority for any franchisor. However, franchise companies, especially in their early stages, often work with limited advertising budgets. They tend to adopt a cautious marketing approach, sticking to what seems logical and safe. This often results in blending in rather than standing out. Successful brands are built by those who dare to break the rules?"they understand the impact of a bold, unfiltered idea. These individuals may have been top students, but they know the Marketing Secrets of a Class Clown (MSCC).
Here's how I discovered the MSCC. As the class clown at Sacred Heart Grammar School and later during my Master’s in Fiction Writing, I learned the art of engaging people. My career as a street musician in Chicago, delighting passersby for tips, taught me invaluable lessons about captivating audiences quickly.
Wisdom from a Fool
Years ago, I entered a banjo contest at a festival in Ohio, filled with accomplished competitors. Dressed in my quirky ensemble of a derby hat, paisley pants, and rainbow suspenders, I quickly realized I was outmatched in skill. When asked how many contests I had entered, I paused and replied, “Including this one?” The crowd burst into laughter when they realized it was my first. Ditching my original plan, I improvised a comedic performance of "Schizophrenic Dueling Banjos."
The audience's applause was overwhelming, and I took an unexpected third place. This experience was an important marketing lesson?"the crowd wanted entertainment, not just technical skill. The technically proficient competitors were indistinguishable, lacking the personality the audience craved.
Embrace the Nonconformist
Before college, when submitting pictures for the freshman directory, most guys chose the coolest snapshots to impress potential dates. Feeling uninspired by my options, I opted for a photo of myself with Groucho Marx glasses. When the directory was published, I was inundated with calls?"proving that embracing silliness can yield surprising rewards.
Humor isn't always the right approach in marketing, but nonconformity often is. The key is to capture interest and stand out. When looking for a CFO, hire the A-student; but for marketing, seek the class clown?"the one who turns heads with their unique flair.
In the world of business, where education meets creativity, it’s the class clowns who often deliver those unforgettable ads. A-marketing campaigns come from class clowns whose bold ideas captivate audiences, supported by A-students who understand that being cautious can sometimes be the riskiest move of all.
