The discussion of marketing mistakes is crucial because the understanding of the common errors and the more remote ones too, can help us avoid making them, thereby further enhancing the chances that our marketing efforts will deliver the desired results - dedicated customers, more frequently buying, and increased revenues.

Many marketing gurus have stated that lack of mistakes is an indication of a lack of creativity in a marketing program, meaning that while the company may be playing it safe, they are limiting their potential by doing so. One response to the inherent errors of the marketing process has been to transform marketing into a science whereby options can be determined through study of the market and results can be measured via statistical analysis. While this approach has, in some ways, improved marketing by making it more exact (although not completely exact, as some would claim), it also, at least to the same extent, diminished marketing because has removed creativity and limited the exploration of options, leaving behind possibilities we'll never know even existed.
