Jobsintown Ad




This is an ad for jobsintown.de. It's funny and incorporates all the 4 P's of the marketing mix. The product is jobsintown.de, the price is not needed, the place is jobsintown.de, and the promotion is "Life's too short for the wrong job."

7 Key Marketing Functions

In the world of marketing there are 7 key functions
Without them there would be major malfunctions.
They work interdependently; they need each other
You can't have just one, you need another.

Product/service management is one of those needed
Used with distribution, businesses have succeeded.
Selling and marketing-info management are two more
Financing and pricing affect consumers at a store.

Promotion is the last, and ties them all together
It works tirelessly through all kinds of weather.
A few of the functions exist to meet our needs
Businesses use the others to plant some seeds.

All are needed to create a successful market
Every business uses them; even those who telemarket.
The 7 key functions are extremely vital
So should you use them? That's not hypothetical.

Superbowl XLIII

Basically the only reason I watch the Superbowl is for the commercials. I could care less about football; I have no idea what's going on. Though this year I was rooting for the Cardinals (so close!). My favorite commercial was the NBC LMAO one. I thought it was funny as well as a good advertisement for shows like 30 Rock & The Office (I LOVE the Office). It included the 4 P's: the product: NBC shows; the price: not mentioned, but not needed for this product; the place: NBC and nbc.com; & finally promotion: the comedy of the commercial made people want to watch funny shows that are on NBC.
