Is it time to embrace a sports cliché?

04.28.10 by Jim O'Gara

Give it 110%. Take it one game at a time. Push it to the next level. These phrases have been uttered by some of the greatest names in sports, to the point that they mean nothing anymore. But every cliché is based in a truth and, when it comes to brand perception, we suggest you make these a part of your daily vernacular.

 

Why? Cliché or not, customers want you to give 110%. They will always appreciate extreme dedication. They want to know that your goal is to go above and beyond – whether that’s by providing outstanding customer service or by fulfilling your brand promise.

 

A one-day-at-a-time mindset creates focus. What can you do this day to make your marketing efforts more powerful? To make your product stronger? To make your customer experience better?

 

Don’t ever be satisfied. Taking it to the next level is not an option, it’s essential. Maybe that means changing things up in your department to get a new perspective. Or shaking up the media plan. Or launching a creative campaign that, frankly, scares you to death. Insist on innovation.

 

So don’t roll your eyes when the star forward or team captain trots out these motivational lines, embrace them – it could be the secret to a truly winning season for your brand.
