New Marketing Concepts

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

An interesting lesson from History

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe

Quotes of LUV

I think.........,One does not fall 'in' or 'out' of love.
One grows in love......... coz nothing is inside and outside of love...everthing we do, we care, we want, exists within the love.

Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real love is like a speech,any fool can start it but ending it requires cosiderable skill

It can b very easy 2 fall in love but it is very difficult to find someone who can catch you when you fall...

love me the most when i deserve it the least thats when i need it the most

Worlds most beautiful sentence=> But, I love you........
Worlds most painful sentence => I love you, but........

Many take differences as fact of life knowing nobody is perfect
n r ready to accept their love ones as they r....

Many want to change their love ones to become those
he/she is not n just to meet the expectation that will never b possible

love is not about finding the perfect person. but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

In life.. i found you..
In you .. i found life..! thats love

Its better to lose your pride for someone you love rather than lose
that someone you love for your useless pride

love endures only when lovers love many things together & not merely each other

love is like heaven but it can hurt like hell-sharon stone

It takes only 3 seconds to say 'I Love You' ...But it takes a lifetime to prove it

We never get what we want - We never want what we get
We never have what we like - We never like what we have

Still we live...
Still we love...
Still we hope...

(i belive its true) "I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am, when I am with you"

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.'
Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you.'

I would rather be blind than not to see you. I would rather not hear anything than not to hear you, I would rather lose my voice if I didnt tell this to you, that I would rather lose my heart than not love you.
