Marketing...what exactly is it?

I had a great talk with a friend up in Massachusetts today. We were talking about marketing the small business she's in with her mother. A few wise cracks later & this crossed my mind; a long-running internet favorite, but the fun lies in the truths hidden within!


The buzz word in today's business world is Marketing. However, people often ask for simple explanation of 'Marketing' Well here it is:

You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Direct Marketing


You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, "She's fantastic in bed."

That's Advertising


You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi! I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Telemarketing


You see a guy at a party, you straighten your dress. You walk up him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I," and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way.
I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Public Relations


You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend.

That's a Sales Rep


Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.

That's Tech Support
