			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Ries">Al Ries</a> recently wrote a good, quick overview (with examples) of what marketing is all about:</p>
<blockquote><p>What’s the No.1 principle of marketing, at least as far as we’re concerned?</p>
<p>It’s the principle of focus. You narrow the focus in order to own a word in the mind of the consumer.</p>
<p>Without a focus, it’s very difficult to build a strong brand. And without a strong brand, any company’s future is in doubt.</p>
<p>While &quot;focus&quot; should be the key ingredient in any marketing campaign, it’s not the whole story. So we developed an acronym called &quot;FOCVS&quot; which does sum up our key thoughts.</p>
