Mass Marketing is Dead

June 17, 2004

For the past couple of days, I've been discussing the death of mass marketing. Looks like the poster child for mass marketing, McDonalds, believes it is too.

Jeff Jarvis has a post today explaining McDonalds position on mass marketing. Jarvis says, "The mass market gives way to a mass of niches."

The mass of niches can be found in Weblogs. Any company looking to reach their customers today will need to join in on the conversations happening on Weblogs. Expect McDonalds to be opening a Weblog near you.
