Definition Of Direct Marketing

Best definition of direct marketing, EVER:

Hey, this is nice and light for you, as we head into the weekend.

I saw this posted somewhere on a marketing board a long time ago and I thought it’d give you a good laugh on this happy Friday.

You see a hot woman at a party. You go up to her and say, “I’m great in bed. You want to see for yourself?”

That’s Direct Marketing…

You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a hot woman. One of your friends goes up to her and, pointing at you, says, “He”s great in bed.”

That’s the power of testimonials in Advertising…

You see a hot woman at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call her and say, “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed.”

That’s Telemarketing…

You’re at a party and see a hot woman. You stand up and flex your shoulders. You walk over to her and pour her a drink. You say “Hi,” and reach up to gently brush her hair away from her face. You then say, “By the way, I’m fantastic in bed.”

That’s Public Relations…

You’re at a party and see a hot woman. She walks up to you and says, “I hear you’re fantastic in bed.”

That’s Brand Name Recognition…

You’re at a party and see a hot woman. You talk her into going home with your friend.

That’s being a good Sales Rep…

Your friend can’t satisfy her so she calls you.

That’s must-needed Tech Support…

You’re on your way to a party when you realize there could be hot women in all these houses you’re passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated toward the center and shout out at the top of your lungs, “I’m fantastic in bed!”

That’s SPAM…

Have a great weekend.
