The definitive explanation of marketing

[marval]

This will clear up any confusion.

You're a woman and you see a handsome man at a party.
You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Direct Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome man.
One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, "She's fantastic in bed."
That's Advertising..

You see a handsome man at a party.
You go up to him and get his telephone number.
The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Telemarketing.

You see a man at a party, you straighten your dress.
You walk up to him and pour him a drink.
You say, "May I," and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm...
And then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a handsome man.
He walks up to you and says, I hear you're fantastic in bed."
That's Brand Recognition.

You're at a party and see a handsome man.
He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend.
That's a Sales Rep.

Your friend can't satisfy him so she calls you.
That's Tech Support.

You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the centre and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!"
That's Junk Mail.

I hope you all have a complete understanding of marketing now.

I used to work for a large computer company and often the sales people would sell an expensive computer system to a customer, then tech support would spend ages trying to get it all to work. Meanwhile the sales rep was off making another sale.

The joke we used to tell about this situation was when the sales person and the tech support person went bear hunting.

They were in this log cabin in the middle of nowhere.

The sales person went out early and said he was going to catch a bear. The tech person sat and waited.

About 2 hours later the door to the log cabin flew open, with the sales person rushing through the door, and a 7 foot grizzly bear rushing behind him.

As the sales person leapt through the back window he said to the tech support person "Here is the first one for you, I will go and get another".

So I suppose when you say 'I'm Fantastic in bed' and you're not then thats called hype.

When you're in the pub and shout "For those of you ladies you under 25 and horny, I'm fantastic in bed".

That's target marketing.
