The initial focus of a company was on WHAT:
“There is only one purpose of business and that is to only engage in activities designed to increase profits.”
– Milton Friedman
1.0 Shareholders First

"
Version 2.0 Customers BUSINESS is about getting and keeping customers
The next version saw profit as a result, a result of focusing on WHO:
2.0 Customers First
“Not so long ago companies assumed the purpose of a business is to make money. But that has proved as vacuous as saying the purpose of life is to
eat...The purpose of a business is to create and keep a customer.” – Ted Levitt
There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”

choose to do business with companies whose values mesh with their own

RED GOLDFISH are the little things your do to bring your purpose to life
Why the color RED and Why a GOLDFISH?
FIRST, WHY A GOLDFISH?
The Goldfish represents something small. It was inspired Kimpton, a chain of boutique hotels, Kimpton embodies the concept of doing the little something extra. Stay at any of the Kimpton properties and you’ll find:
• free gourmet coffee and fresh fruit in the lobby • complimentary wine tasting in the afternoon • pet-friendly accommodations
My favorite perk is something a select number of the properties do for guests. Perhaps you are staying at a Kimpton for a few days, and you are getting lonely…
GIVE A LITTLE UNEXPECTED EXTRA
Guppy Love Kimpton will give you a pet goldfish for your stay. They call it “Guppy Love.”
Average Goldfish = 3 inches
A goldfish also represents something small. But all goldfish are not created equal.
The world’s largest is…
Nearly 20 inches or 50 centimeters
That’s nearly six times larger! How can there be such a difference. It turns out the growth of a goldfish is determined by five factors. The growth of your business is also affected by the same five things.
Five Factors #1. SIZE OF THE BOWL = MARKET #2. NUMBER OF OTHER GOLDFISH = COMPETITION #3. NUTRIENTS/CLOUDINESS OF THE WATER = ECONOMY #4. FIRST 120 DAYS OF LIFE = START-UP #5. GENETIC MAKEUP = DIFFERENTIATION
Assuming you’ve already been in business for four months, what’s the only thing you have control over?
Five Factors #1. MARKET #2. COMPETITION #3. ECONOMY #4. FIRST 120 DAYS #5. DIFFERENTIATION
The only thing you can have control over is how you differentiate.
How you purposely stand out in a sea of sameness?
WHY THE COLORS? The first three colors were an ode to New Orleans and its most famous event…
Purple, Green, and Gold are the three official
Mardi Gras colors
The “additional gift”or “to give more”
LAGNIAPPE It was an ode to New Orleans because of one word… Mark Twain came to appreciate this one word and its meaning during his time in New Orleans. He wrote that it was “a word worth traveling to New Orleans to get.”
That one word is…
LAGNIAPPE
means the “additional gift”or “to give more”

Why RED? Our inspiration for RED comes from the (RED) movement. (RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver. Launched in 2006, it’s purpose was to engage the private sector to raise funds in the fight against AIDS in Africa.
(RED) helped reinforce the simple idea that doing good is good business for both your customers and employees.
Purpose beyond Profit The branding agency Wolff Olins helped build the platform for (RED). They created a unique brand architecture that united participating businesses by literally multiplying their logos to the power (RED). Companies created select red products. A portion of the sales of those products were donated to (RED) chartiable programs. According to Wolff Olins, “the appeal of (RED) was clear: it connected these corporations with a purpose beyond their own profit.”
Prior to the launch of (RED), businesses had contributed just $5 million to the Global Fund in four years. In a decade since its inception, the private sector, through (RED), has contributed over $350 million. One hundred percent of the funds are invested in HIV/AIDS programs in Africa with a focus on countries with high prevalence of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
In 2016, we started the Red Goldfish Project. We collected over 250 examples of how companies embrace purpose.
