10 MARKETING CONCEPTS


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 are 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 her and say, 'Hi, I am very rich. Marry me!'

That's TELEMARKETING.


4. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.

You get up and straighten your tie. You walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her. You pick up her bag after she drops it. You offer her a ride and you say, 'By the way, I am very rich. Will you marry me?'

That's PUBLIC RELATIONS.


5. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.

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 walk 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 walk 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 walk up to her and before you can say anything, another person comes along and tells her, 'I am very rich. Marry me!'

That's MARKET COMPETITION.

9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.

You walk up to her and before you can say anything, another person comes along and tells her, 'I am very rich. Marry me!

And she follows him.

That's LOSING MARKET SHARE.

10. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.

You walk up to her and before you can say, 'I am very rich. Marry me!',

YOUR WIFE TURNS UP!

That's BARRIER TO NEW MARKET ENTRY.

Beauty of Math!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

---------------------------------------------------------

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
---------------------------------------------------------------

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
987654321 x 9 - 1 = 8888888888
9876543210 x 9 - 2 = 88888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

---------------------------------------------------------
And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321

------------------------------------------------------------

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are
giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants
you to GIVE OVER 100% .

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%



THEN,
look how far the love of God will take you:


L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%



Therefore, one can conclude with
mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge
will get you close, and Attitude
will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will
put you over the top!
It's up to you if you share this with
your friends & loved ones

just the way I did.

P/s: ok.... so does it means 'love of dog' oso gives 101% ?

Will this give chicken wing vendors a bi headache?

>> Plse read below message from the Singapore Medical Association :
>>
>>
>> " Chicken Wings - Its Dangerous! "
>>
>> Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true
>> story...!
>>
>> A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent
>> an operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a
>> dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the
>> surgery but! she was terribly wrong.
>>
>> A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed, she rushed
>> down to her gynecologist for a consultation.
>>
>> During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled
>> her. He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she
>> replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits.
>>
>> You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are
>> injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs
>> of this
>> society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food.
>>
>> Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot
>> at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the
>> highest
>> concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying
>> effects on the body as it accelerates growth. It has an even more
>> dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to
>> women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb.
>> Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to
>> lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

>> People, who receive this email, please forward it to your friends and
>> loved ones. I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!

About dry ice in ur car ?

Remember this esp when we buy lots of ice cream during Baskin Robbins31st day offer!!!They normally put dry ice in your ice cream pack if you buy a lot.
A friend bought four packs of ice cream and to prevent it from melting,the seller put the dry ice amongst the ice cream.

My friend put it atthe back seat (not the back of the car) and he started to drive with thewindows closed and the aircon on (as what we all do). Soon after that,he had difficulty breathing and it was getting worse by minutes.Luckily, he was in a traffic jam and when he almost fainted, beside himwas an ambulance. He dragged himself to the ambulance and got the oxygentreatment. He was getting better on the way to the hospital.

The ambulance officer drove his car to the hospital and he had the sameexperience. However, before his condition worsen, he opened up thewindow and he can breathe easily. Only later, when my friendreturned to office and told his colleagues about his story, they pointedto him that the dry ice was the problem.

WHY?
Dry ice was made of CO2 and when it "melts", it becomes CO2 gasimmediately without leaving any wet mark (that is why it is called dryice).CO2 is easier to be linked up in our blood and thus, when the dry icesublimes into CO2 gas, it fills the car room with it along with the aircon circulation and caused CO2 poisoning. So, don't put the dry iceinside your car if you are using aircon with fully closed windows.
Youmust leave the windows open for such situation.
Hope this will help to prevent any fatality just from a small negligencelike this. Imagine if you have your children inside, they might be thevictim.

p/s: ... quite impossible to me =.=
