How marketing works, really

Thanks to Oleg Vishnepolsky for sharing this :-)

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 friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends points at you says: He's very rich marry him. That's Advertising

3. You go up to her and get her tel. number. Next day, you call and say: Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me. That's Telemarketing

4. She walks up to you and says: You are very rich! Can you marry Me? That's Brand Recognition

5. You tell her: I am very rich marry me! She gives you a slap on your face. That's Customer Feedback

6. 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

7. 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

8. You go up to her and before you say: I'm rich, Marry me! your wife arrives. That's a legal restriction for entering new markets

9. You ask at a bar for a wifi password. A gorgeous bartender girl say “Order drink first.” You order a drink and pay. You ask again, what’s wifi password. She says “order drink first – all in lower caps”. That’s marketing of 21 century
