Are You Looking For Function or Fashion?

When trying on a new pair of sneakers recently, a friend of mine complained to the sales clerk that the shoes were rather ugly. He replied (smarmily,) “Are you looking for function or fashion?”

Both, of course! And why not?

  • Because at the click of a button, I can compare shoe prices and features from any vendor, anywhere
  • Because at the click of a button, I can buy shoes from any vendor, anywhere
  • Because at the click of a button, I can chat with other shoe fans, anywhere
  • Because at the click of a button, I can complain, suggest, and question your company directly
  • Because at the click of a button, I can design my own shoes
  • Because at the click of a button, I can find everything I need to know about your product or service before I set foot in the store or pick up the phone
  • Because at the click of a button, if you are not providing function and fashion, I can find somebody who is

I expect function and “fashion” from every product and every experience.

Here are a few of my expectations. How about you?

  • Sexy and comfortable
  • Available and on time
  • Yummy and low fat
  • On site and online
  • Cheap and clean
  • Convenient and responsive
  • Speedy and accurate
  • Smart and friendly
  • Creative and analytical
  • Caring and efficient
