Professor at one of the IIM’s (INDIA) was explaining marketing concepts to the Students:-

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 befo re you say:
“I’m rich, Marry me!” your wife arrives. – That’s restriction for entering new markets
