Diego's Marketing Blog (catchy huh?)

Hey everyone, this my first blog and I’m really excited to share the random stories of my life, whether Marketing-related or not, with all of you.  There’s a wide variety of stories that you should expect to read here. These include, but are not limited to: rants about my everyday life, stories about customers (or simply people) who piss me off, funny/interesting Youtube videos, hilarious quotes, and …what else?… oh yeah Marketing!

Anyway, I thought I could start my blog off with an explanation of fundamental marketing principles. Lucky for me (and you!), I found very appropiate examples for just about all kinds of marketing techniques we will be discussing in this course. Enjoy and don’t forget to leave a LOL ROFL or LMAO below!

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 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. 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: “Hi, I’m very rich. 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, 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 rich. Will you marry me?” – That’s Public Relations

5. You’re at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and
says: 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. 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. 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 comes and tells her: “I’m 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’m rich, Marry me!” your wife arrives. – That’s restriction
for entering new markets
