Tesla Spends $0 on Advertising
The world’s most valuable car company spends nothing, zero dollars, zilch on advertising. In comparison, GM spends over 3 billion, Ford spends over 2 billion, and Fiat, Toyota, and Honda all have over a 1 billion advertising budget.
In fact, Elon Musk hates advertising. Musk has always said Tesla will not advertise or pay for endorsements, and that the company’s money is better used to create great products people love. Tesla, instead, has excelled at word-of-mouth advertising. Owners just buy Tesla cars, use them, enjoy them, and share their experiences with others.
“The balance of power is shifting toward the consumer and away from companies…The right way to respond to this is to put the vast majority of your energy, attention, and dollars into building a great product or service and put a smaller amount into shouting about it, marketing it.”
–Elon Musk
