Purple cow is a curious book with some good insights and some good advice for those interested in marketing. However, the book is too general and too optimistic without being detailed enough.

I find it (maybe) too applicable to some types of businesses and not relevant at all for others.

When it came out talking about arrange your business as a purple cow was really a subversive thought. Now it is mainstream. But the book is easy and enjoyable to read. So read it, but keep reading on the matter.

You're either a Purple Cow or you're not. You're either remarkable or invisible. Make your choice. What do Apple, Starbucks, Dyson and Pret a Manger have in common? How do they achieve spectacular growth, leaving behind former tried-and-true brands to gasp their last? The old checklist of P's used by marketers - Pricing, Promotion, Publicity - aren't working anymore. The golden age of advertising is over. It's time to add a new P - the Purple Cow. Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat-out unbelievable. In his new bestseller, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for anyone who wants to help create products and services that are worth marketing in the first place.
