Marketing Concepts Redux

I didn’t write these… neither did Kotler… whoever did, did a great job and I’d love to know who. I received them as a ‘joke email’ from a dear friend and thought I’d share them here with you:

MARKETING CONCEPTS IN REAL LIFE

• 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.
• 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.
• 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. 
• 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.
• 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 Reputation.
• 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.
• 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!
• 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.
• You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: “I’m rich, Marry me!” Then your wife arrives! – That’s a market entry barrier.
