Marketing – What Works Best For You?

There are so many ways to market your business. Based on the type of business you are in, some ways work better than others. Thought I would have a little fun this week and give you some thoroughly researched examples. Besides, it is Valentines Day week.

  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 a Referral.
  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 a gorgeous girl. You get up, straighten your tie, walk up to her, pour her a drink, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, open the door (of the car) for her, 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 a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: “You are very rich! Will 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!” She then 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 comes up to her and says: “I’m rich. Will you marry me?” and she goes with him. – That’s Competition Eating into 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 girlfriend arrives. – That’s Restriction for Entering New Markets. And finally…
  10. You’re looking for a partner, and not having much luck with traditional dating. You post a picture of yourself with a wad of cash with the caption: “I am very rich. Marry me!” – That’s Social Media Marketing.

Hope you enjoyed these, and had a smile for the day…some weeks it’s hard to come up with new material.
