Can a good product sell itself without marketing?

Came upon this question because I was curious to know your thoughts on this one.

I mean, some products don't even have good advertisements but still sell really well. I think if the product is good enough and people actually like it, word of mouth can do a lot.

Usually it depends. A good product can get attention through word of mouth, but marketing still helps people discover it and understand why they should try it.

Some products can sell without much marketing, but it’s definitely a harder way to reach your audience. Even if the product is good, people still need to know that it exists before they can actually consider buying it.

Yeah, you’re probably right. A good product can get some attention on its own, especially through word of mouth, but marketing still makes it much easier for people to discover it and understand what it offers.

Yeah, definitely. I think that’s a fair point and I’ve seen that happen too.

Yes, but I think it can be harder nowadays. There are so many products competing for people’s attention, so trying different ways to market your business can help more people discover it.

Completely agree with this one. I think that’s a fair point.

Yep, agreed. If the product is actually good, people will naturally recommend it to others. Crocs are a good example since a lot of their popularity came from people sharing and recommending them rather than relying only on flashy ads.
