A Funny Version of Marketing =)

It’s the last week of school. “YAY” for finishing another semester in univeristy and “OH NO” for the upcoming final exams.
Since it’s the last week of school, why not share something interesting/funny to everyone? Let’s have some fun before we all dive into the finals.
This is a passage about marketing that I once read online, and I found it very funny. Because we are not studying the promotion P of the marketing mix, I find this passage even more interesting. Let’s take a look:
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 come and tell 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”
Do you find this funny? I think this is a very interesting way that helps us capture the definition of these marketing terms.
Good luck on your exams folks =)
