What Every Marketer Can Learn From Jerry Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld didn't call it quits because his audience wanted
him to end his TV series. No, the comic turned TV star decided
it was time to go.
In an interview before the final "Seinfeld" episode, Katie
Couric posed this question: "You're the number-one sitcom, the
leading program for a network and the most-watched show on
television. Why hang it up?"
"The audience is a child, and you're responsible for the child,"
said Seinfeld. "Sometimes that means not giving the child what
the child wants. The child isn't happy at the time, but perhaps
later the child will understand."
In other words, Seinfeld was saying "enough" to his devoted
fans, much in the same way a child is denied candy even though
each piece tastes good.
Regardless of what you thought of "Seinfeld" -- a show about
nothing, narcissistic, the funniest sitcom ever -- the
producers, writers and actors knew their audience, and they
delivered dead-on comedy to that audience for nearly a decade.
But Jerry, whose roots are in standup comedy, didn't want to
keep the show alive until he "bombed." He didn't want the
"child" to turn on him. Instead, he left the series the same way
he would exit his standup routine: with the audience wanting
more.
Take Charge
I like the child metaphor. If you're a parent, you're in tune
with the needs of your children. Likewise, if you're a marketer,
shouldn't you be in tune with the needs of your audience?
Following are eight tips for managing the audience relationship.
You're the "parent."
Take charge. You're the parent in the relationship. What does
the audience want and need? Good parents take the time to get to
know their kids. To be an effective marketer, you must take the
time to get to know your audience.
Talk in terms they can understand.
Once you know your audience, talk in terms they can understand,
determining the language, style and tone that's most effective.
Sometimes you must educate your audience. Do it with humility.
Whatever you do, don't come across as self-important. The
audience will always seek those who treat them with respect.
Children don't work. Neither should your audience.
Children learn and grow through play. It's not work; it's fun!
Don't make your audience work either. Give them what they want
and need, making it as enjoyable and
entertaining as possible. A
caution: Don't go overboard with humor. It's a tricky business.
Use it appropriately.
Keep it fresh.
You want your child to brush her teeth -- only what worked
yesterday isn't working today. You need a fresh approach. The
same holds true for your audience. They may get bored. Much like
the child, your audience may get tired of listening to you.
That's why it's wise to periodically adopt a fresh approach.
Be dependable and trustworthy.
Dependability and trust are cornerstones of the parent-child
relationship. Your audience, whether consciously or
subconsciously, also wants to know what to expect from you. This
is often called branding -- building an identity and credibility
in the minds of customers. Be dependable and earn your
audience's trust.
Be enthusiastic.
Children are naturally enthusiastic, and in case you haven't
noticed enthusiasm is contagious. That's why it's so effective
in sales and marketing. Nothing sells a product, service or
message like enthusiasm. Pump some into your marketing
communications. If you're not enthusiastic about your message,
who will be?
Choose the right media.
My daughter can now talk on the phone. We can have a sensible
conversation. Earlier, she wasn't interested or capable. What
are the best media for your audience? Are they ready, willing
and able? To communicate effectively to your audience, choose
the right media.
Stay focused.
"Seinfeld" boiled down to laughs. As Jason Alexander, the actor
who played George, explained on PBS, the laugh reigned supreme.
Never mind statements about life, culture, society and the like.
The writers focused like a laser beam on laughs. As a result,
"Seinfeld" delivered laughs to a faithful following week in and
week out, year after year.
What's the focus of your marketing communications? Who do you
want to attract? How will you get them to follow? It's time to
take charge. After all, you're the parent.
