Re: ATTN: Derek Re: Euphoria needs more popularity!
I think it's safe to say that _ALL_ people like excitement. Even if they
don't get overly excited themselves, they still like to see other people
excited about things. There's actually a quite scientific term to
describe
anyone who doesn't and it's called "clinical depression". And, I'm not
being sarcastic when I say, if you find anyone who doesn't even like
to see
even the excitement of other people, it would be worth having them
checked
for clinical depression.
On the other hand, if you are speaking of stability as in --being able to
have faith in something-- then I'd also say that all people like
stability.
For example, can you think of a single person who would _LIKE_ not knowing
if a chair was going to hold them up or not, everytime they were about to
sit down? I can't. All people like stability. They like knowing that
things will do what they are supposed to do.
However, the presence of "stability" is not equal to the absence of
"excitement". Stability does not have to mean that things are dull and
unexciting. In the flashy hi-tech world that we live in, people don't
even
notice things, if you don't show them some sort of excitement. Think
about
Coke. Now, that's a stable company. But, why do you think they spend
millions and millions of dollars in advertising, trying to make themselves
look exciting to you? Because they know that without excitement, it
doesn't
matter how stable they have been in the past, they are still dead.
And, yes, I agree with the person who spoke about customer service (can't
remember who that was). If you want to make a product for your own self,
you can do anything you want to do with it. But, if you want to sell
it.......to make money from it, then you have to follow the basic rule of
business that says, "The customer is always right." That means, if the
majority of customers want something, you go to any length you have to
go to
provide it for them. Or, if it is impossible to provide, you go to every
length you can to try to _look like_ you are providing that for them.
It's
just a basic rule of business. You can say, "I don't care what they
think,
it's my product and I'll do it my way." if you want to say that. However,
you have just spoken a prophetic message about it being "your product".
You'll eventually find that there is no customer base.
