People have asked for an explanation of Marketing.
Perhaps the following analogies will help clear it up:

You see a handsome guy 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 guy.
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 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." That's Telemarketing.

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 burying 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 guy. 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 guy. You talk him into going home
with your friend. That's a Sales Rep.

Your friend can't satisfy him so he 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 toward the center and shout at the top of your
lungs,
"I'm fantastic in bed!"
That's Spam

You may now shoot me for dredging this from the archives.

Should do one for "viral marketing".

You satisfy him, so he tells all of his friends about you. Next thing you know, all of these handsome guys are contacting you so they can take your friend home with them.
That's Viral Marketing.

Good one. I'm amazed that you did that without getting lewd. I was thinking along a more risque line.

Bubo · 10-17-2003, 02:57 PM

Well, there was the one about the STD, but that was harmful to brand image.....
