Physical product companies can learn a lot by looking at the way digital product companies have evolved. Every physical product company should find ways to shorten the feedback loops with their customers and increase the quality of the feedback they receive. Great products are easier to market, creating happier customers who buy again and tell others to do the same. Show less
