So we’ve talked a lot about distribution- or, “promotion” in terms of the 4 P’s all throughout this class.
I wonder if distribution can be a verbal thing, and not a tangible thing? I.e. is it possible to verbally distribute a message to consumers instead of putting something in a package on a shelf?
…okay I know that’s a bit hard to follow. So let me use an example.
Yesterday I watched this awful video with Bristol Palin and Mike “The Situation” from Jersey Shore promoting safe sex. For those of you that don’t know, Palin is the daughter of (former?) Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and is most famously known for getting knocked up by her country bumpkin sweetheart at the age of 17 and, more recently, for advancing in Dancing with the Stars. As for The Situation? Yeah…not much to be said about him except he too is/was on Dancing with the Stars, and is famous for, well, no reason (aside from being on Jersey Shore that is).
So ANYWAY. The point of the video is promoting safe sex/ abstinence. I’m really curious to find out if distribution has to be a tangible thing, so if anybody has any answers please comment comment comment! 🙂
PS side note: This video made me want to gouge out my eyes the acting was so bad on Palin’s part. I mean seriously girl, I get that you’re not a real actor, but at least pay for an acting coach or something like that…or just don’t act at all, that’d be nice too.
Anyhoo here it is:
