MARKETING MADE CLEAR ... AT LAST

You're a woman and you see a handsome man at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic!"

That's Direct Marketing.

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

That's Advertising.

You see a handsome man at a party.You go up to him and get his telephone number.
The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic!"

That's Telemarketing.

You see a man at a party, you 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 lightly against his arm...
And then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic!"

That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a handsome man.He walks up to you and says, I hear you're fantastic!"
That's Brand Recognition.

You're at a party and see a handsome man. He fancies you, but you talk him into dating your friend.

That's a Sales Rep.

Your friend can't keep him interested, so she 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 towards the centre
and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic!"

That's Junk Mail.

Hopefully, you now have a complete understanding of Marketing and can get back to your efforts to DELIGHT CUSTOMERS !
