Youtility: Summary Review
This is a summary review of Youtility containing key details about the book.
What is Youtility About?
"Youtility" is a book that advocates for creating marketing strategies that focus on providing customers with helpful and useful information, rather than solely trying to sell them a product.
The difference between helping and selling is just two letters If you're wondering how to make your products seem more exciting online, you're asking the wrong question. You're not competing for attention only against other similar products. You're competing against your customers' friends and family and viral videos and cute puppies. To win attention these days you must ask a different question: "How can we help?" Youtility offers a new approach that cuts through the clutter: marketing that is truly, inherently useful. If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life.
