1The Rule of Seven
#ContentWhisperer @dgmarketingco
The Rule of Seven is a marketing principle that states that your prospects need to come across your offer at least 7 times
before they really notice your offer and start to take action.
#ContentWhisperer @dgmarketingco
A diehard HipChat fan quickly moved over to HipChat alternative Slack. Here’s what she had to say:
“During those 3-4 weeks, I can’t even
begin to guess how many times I heard or
read about Slack. TechCrunch, The Next
Web, Fast Company, Gigaom, WSJ, Inc. –
everyone was talking about this new app. I
began to like Slack because it became
more familiar to me than HipChat.”
