A Professor at one of the IIM's (INDIA) was explaining marketing concept to the Students:
1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say:
--->“I am very rich; Will you Marry me!”
^---That's Direct Marketing.
2. You are 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; Will you Marry him!”
^---That's Advertising.
3. 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:
--->“I am very rich; Will you Marry me!”
^---That's Telemarketing.
4. 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 and 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 very rich; will you Marry me!”
^---That's Public Relations.
5. You are at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and say:
--->“You are very rich! Can you Marry me?”
^---That's Brand Recognition.
6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say:
--->“I am very rich; Will you Marry me!" ***She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
^---That's Customer Feedback.
7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say:
--->“I am very rich; Will you Marry me!” ***And she introduces you to her husband.
^---That's demand and supply gap.
8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tells her:
--->“I am very rich; Will you Marry me?" ***And she goes with him.
^---That's competition eating into your market share.
9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say:
--->“I am very rich; Will you Marry me!” ***And your wife arrives.
^---That's restriction for entering new markets.
