Those clever people at Gartner have been pondering the impact of market buzz and how it effects a technology's chances of success.  Their 'Hype Cycle' traces the life of a technology  through five phases of market maturity: from fanfare breakthroughs to mass market love and adoption.  Each one presents its own threats and opportunities - things that can either mothball or propel your sales efforts in a profound way.  

Here at Velocity, we've worked with many firms who have ridden this roller coaster successfully - using a variety of solid marketing techniques to turn the Hype Cycle to their advantage.  

Our new Best Practice B2B Marketing Paper uses this experience to analyse each phase within the Cycle.  Using real examples, we describe what the Hype means, how each Hype Cycle phase occurs and how you can configure your marketing efforts to best exploit it or 'ride' it out.

Give it a read.  If you're peaking or troughing right now, it'll provide a bunch of great new ideas to make you sleep  easier at night.
