The term, \u201cdemand pull \u2013 cost push\u201d was created by the great economist, John Maynard Keynes, to describe the two primary drivers of economic inflation.\u00a0 Demand pull: too much demand for a product or service and not enough supply cause a competition for the product that drives prices higher without increasing the intrinsic value of the product.\u00a0 Cost push: labor or parts costs increase, causing the product or service to be priced higher without adding intrinsic value.\u00a0 As a student of economics, I studied Keynes and his many theories of macro and micro economics, but this one kept returning to me as an excellent way to describe a completely different business principle.<\/p>\n

All of our enterprises have limited resources, even the largest of the Fortune 500, and especially the smallest of competitors in a market.\u00a0 Most new product introductions are planned with a broad campaign aimed toward the whole of the marketplace, committing resources such as money and manpower to the effort.\u00a0 I have learned over the years that this may not be prudent.\u00a0 Instead, seeding various segments of the market, vertical niches, with focused attention in form of marketing and sales efforts, will quickly yield positive results from some niches and perhaps no interest from others.\u00a0 It is upon the moment of understanding which niches respond positively to the new offering that a company should push costs into increased marketing and sales efforts into those niches, concentrating fire power and overwhelming the niche, instead of making few waves in an ocean of broad opportunities and becoming lost in the process.\u00a0 To describe this, Keynes comes to mind. Push the costs into market niches where you seed your marketing, and experience the pull of customer demand as a result.\u00a0 Cost push \u2013 demand pull.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
