A Professor at one of the IIM's (INDIA) was explaining marketing concepts to the 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 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 come and tell 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
