P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 131
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I confess that I liked the Museum mainly for the opportunities it afforded for rapidly making money. Before I bought it, I weighed the matter well in my mind, and was convinced that I could present to the American public such a variety, quantity and quality of amusement, blended with instruction, “all for twenty-five cents, children half price,” that my attractions would be irresistible, and my fortune certain. I myself relished a higher grade of amusement, and I was a frequent attendant at the opera, first-class concerts, lectures, and the like; but I worked for the million, and I knew the only way to make a million from my patrons was to give them abundant and wholesome attractions for a small sum of money.

白话
巴纳姆坦言,他喜欢博物馆主要是因为它能快速赚钱。买之前他仔细盘算,确信只要提供种类多、数量足、质量好、寓教于乐的娱乐,“统统25美分,儿童半价”,吸引力就不可抗拒,财富稳赚。他自己其实喜欢更高雅的娱乐,常去歌剧、音乐会,但他为大众服务,知道从大众赚钱的唯一办法就是:用低价给他们丰富又健康的娱乐。这揭示了一个商业逻辑:想赚大众的钱,就要站在大众的消费能力和趣味上设计产品,而不是按自己的偏好定价。
