P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 128

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

While I expended money liberally for attractions for the inside of my Museum, and bought or hired everything curious or rare which was offered or could be found, I was prodigal in my outlays to arrest or arouse public attention. When I became proprietor of the establishment, there were only the words: “American Museum,” to indicate the character of the concern; there was no bustle or activity about the place; no posters to announce what was to be seen;--the whole exterior was as dead as the skeletons and stuffed skins within. My experiences had taught me the advantages of advertising. I printed whole columns in the papers, setting forth the wonders of my establishment. Old “fogies” opened their eyes in amazement at a man who could expend hundreds of dollars in announcing a show of “stuffed monkey skins”; but these same old fogies paid their quarters, nevertheless, and when they saw the curiosities and novelties in the Museum halls, they, like all other visitors, were astonished as well as pleased, and went home and told their friends and neighbors and thus assisted in advertising my business.

白话

巴纳姆接手博物馆时,外面只有“美国博物馆”几个字,毫无生气,没有海报宣传。他凭经验大做广告,在报纸上整栏介绍馆内奇观。老古板们惊讶他竟花钱宣传“填充猴子皮”,但还是掏钱来看,看完后惊叹又满意,回家还替她宣传。巴纳姆认为,广告能吸引人进门,但真正让人满意并口碑传播的,是里面的展品。所以,营销要大胆,产品更要过硬。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中描述他刚买下美国博物馆时的冷清景象,以及他如何通过大规模广告扭转局面。

今日一问

你的“广告”和“展品”是否匹配?顾客看完会主动替你宣传吗?
