Marketing 101
February 10, 2007 in Marketing 101
As I mentioned in “Born Again Blogger“, I’m a recent blog convert and I’ve just switched over from Expression Engine to WordPress. While doing so I’ve decided to start this site anew.
And what better than to start at the beginning? Marketing 101. And your class begins right now. Take a seat.
I didn’t write this lesson but I wish I had.
Not only is it entertaining, it’s informative. It’s like Bill Cosby used to say before every episode of Fat Albert, “If you aren’t careful, you might learn something.”
What’s Marketing?

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’re at a party and see a handsome guy. You get up and straighten your dress. You walk up to 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 walks up to you and says, “I hear you’re fantastic in bed.”
— That’s Brand Recognition.
You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. 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.
You’re on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you’re passing by. So you climb onto the roof of one of the houses and shout at the top of your lungs, “I’m fantastic in bed!”
— That’s Spam.

Fantastic “parable” lesson on marketing. I found your site by typing in stepone.com. Is this a site you own?
Thanks, Billy! Yes, I own StepOne.com but I am not using it right now (it is for sale though!). I have some ideas for it but I have a long list of projects and that one is WAY down on the list!
Damn that is funny!
I might actually LIKE that type of SPAM though!
