Branding: The New Rules

The usual thrust of marketing is that firms should sell the sizzle, not the steak. The dot-coms now crashing down were so enamored by the sizzle that they tried the equivalent of opening a restaurant and bamboozling customers with ersatz steak-sizzle packaged in garish spray cans.
