Marketing

Over the years, people have often asked me to explain the various concepts of marketing communications.  The following might help clarify the "tools of the trade."

Direct Marketing

You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed." 

Advertising

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

Telemarketing

You see a handsome guy 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." 

Public Relations

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. You get up and 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." 

Brand Recognition

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed." 

Sales Rep

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. You talk him into going home with your friend.   

Tech Support.

Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.  

Spam

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 toward the center and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!"
