Marketing Concept

A Professor was explaining marketing concepts to his students :

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say : "I am very rich. Marry me!"
- That's Direct Marketing.

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says : "He's very rich. Marry him."
- That's Advertising.

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say : "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me."
- That's Telemarketing.

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door of the car for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride and then say : "By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?"
- That's Public Relations.

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says : You are very rich! Can you marry me?"
- That's Brand Recognition.

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say : "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
- That's Customer Feedback.

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say : "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband.
- That's Demand and Supply Gap.

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person comes and tells her : "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him.
- That's competition eating into your Market share.

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say : "I'm rich. Marry me!" your wife arrives.
- That's restriction for entering new markets.

10. You see two gorgeous girls at a party, obviously friends. You go up to one and say, "I'm rich. Marry me." She turns away and you approach her friend with the same proposal.
- That's Networking. ( by Hale Mckay )

This reminds me off OSHO talking about "FUCK" in different uses. You check in you tube.

A good marketing indeed!!!

Jay said...

They take a whole semester at college to try to teach people what you just did in a few minutes. See, this stuff isn't all that complicated. ;-)

Wayne Allen Sallee said...

Very nice post, PG. Hope you had fun over the holidays, though I realize that was awhile ago...

Dave said...

A fun post. You can take this to any college and introduce it to the business and marketing departments and It will be a great teaching tool.

susan said...

Well that really explains it well. I wish my economics class had been this concise.

Btw, for some reason my favorite was customer feedback.

pink ginger 珂琳 said...

dave - this is one of the better junk mail i've received.

susan - 'customer feedback' is a good one, I also like 'brand recognition'.

This was great! You never what jewels we might receive in an e-mail.

I would like to use this soon over at mine and my partner's sight Verbicidal Tendencies. Of course I will give you credit as my source and call you a contributor.

What a wonderfully sexy pic you are using in your avatar. Don't worry, I'm married, so no danger of me exercising any of those on you.

pink ginger 珂琳 said...

TC - with this great timing and chemistry, am sure we can dance beautifully.
Save the last dance for me. :)

在台灣做廣告很難賺大錢的,只有少數翎毛鳳角,才有出頭天!

Dan said...

All I can say is -- I think I'm being invited to the wrong parties!!

n2 said...

You're at a party and visit with a friend. He points out a gorgeous girl for you. Is that a marketing lead?

Steve said...

Hi,
I like the way this is presented, it makes it easy to learn. Thanks Pink Ginger.

Gledwood said...

問候! 能您真正地讀中文或您通過它通過翻譯節目如我? 問候對再您在您的問候以後對我在我的blog!

Gledwood said...

真是一個傻的問題! 我自由地看見您的朋友在臺灣評論用智力漢語!

高耀洁 said...

早上起很早,我真正明白了幸福的定义。幸福,要自己先给,给别人,也给自己。

最近大家的话题都变为virginia tech的枪击案,茶余饭后。

Nabeel said...

sure @ concepts but are they successful tactics? For example I am sure the direct marketing example would fail.

Jay said...

Ginger .. where are you?

I miss you! ;-)

Hope everything is going okay.

Gracey said...

I like that easy explanation...too bad he wasn't my teacher in college! :)

Sugarlips said...

Heheheh :) A fun post :o)

Stay Beautiful..!

pink ginger 珂琳 said...

n2 - good point to add on.

Nabeel - I guess direct marketing work for certain people, perhaps not for you and me.

Jay - feel good to be missed. thank you.

披头王 :感觉上台湾的广告蛮有创意的。

高耀洁:感谢你的留言,欢迎你。

pink ginger 珂琳 said...
