VIERNES RELIGIOSO:

Queridos hermanos, estamos aqui reunidos para hablar sobre como hacer BRANDING con los escritos de la BIBLIA.

Resulta ser que un Sr. Norman Burleson ha vendido Biblias "Zondervan" y libros Crisitanos por 35 anos en una tienda Cristianan en Spartanburg, Carolina del Sur. De pronto se le ocurre la fantastica idea de "internacionalizar" las Biblias que todos hemos leido alguna vez y que personalmente yo disruto mucho y publica una version "actulizada" del nuevo testamento llamado:
"New International Version (TNIV)" El problema empieza cuando mas de 50 pastores ejercen su fiel oposicion cuando no aprecian esta nueva generacion de libros dado que "confunden los generos".

Lo interesante de este articulo es que, este Sr les ha vendido a esos mismos pastores y publico en general otros tipos libros o biblias, sin embargo la resistencia al cambio creo, es pan nuestro de cada dia...

El le llama a este nuevo bebe "la NEW COKE" dado que es un experimento de branding que le permitira entender mejor lo que busca la gente y de alguna averiguar si las nuevas generaciones adpotaran o no esta actualizacion, pero hay mas:

(miren su estrategia de branding)
Despite the risks of becoming analogous to New Coke, Zondervan made the plunge with the TNIV, implementing a branding and go-to-market strategy that operates at four levels. First, it is trying to bypass Christian bookstores by pursuing mass merchandisers, youth-market opinion leaders, and PR successes. Second, it is continuing to hammer away with its reps at the store and chain level. Third, it is pledging the patience to wait for long-term success with a new generation of believers.

“When the TNIV is completed [New and Old Testaments, in 2005], there will be 40 million Americans aged 10 to 20 years old, and most of them will have grown through elementary and junior high school reading other things that are very inclusive in how they treat gender,” says Cris Doornbos, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Zondervan, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “We believe this is the bulls-eye market that will like this product.”

The fourth level of Zondervan’s approach -- and perhaps the boldest -- is to use the TNIV New Testament as a bit of a decoy. Executives hope that the TNIV’s zealous opposition will have expended all of their flack by the time the Old Testament, which makes up about two-thirds of Scripture, debuts.
