Marketing 101 for Men

Thanks to The Friend's Hubby for sharing this with me.

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 say, "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 approaches and tells 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.

New Beginnings

After serving in my previous callings at church for the last 5 years or so, they have released me and called me to be Stake Young Women's President. I approach this calling humbly as I want to serve each ward YW presidency to the best of my ability. I want to be able to provide them with the guidance and instruction they need to make the program successful. Most importantly, I want to be able to help shape these young women's lives and prepare them to be leaders; as mothers in their home, and leaders in their community and in the world.

I loved serving as a youth leader over 10 years ago. And as I see those young women who I love so dearly now get married and have their own families, I see how the teachings in YW can help shape their lives.

I'm so excited to work with my councilors and secretary. They are the most vibrant group of women who are organized and have a great sense of responsibility. They're also a lot of fun. What a sense of humour! They each have qualities that I look up to in them. I can't wait to see where this new adventure takes us.

Oh and another perk to this calling...I get to be at Connor's first church dance and youth conference this year. He's worried I'm going to embarrass him, take pictures and put it on Facebook, etc.

Who me?

Superbowl Ads

Not many Superbowl ads caught my attention but I did like these ones:
Bud Light
E-trade

They obviously have some feminine appeal to them. Not speaking as an expert, but I think this one does a good job appealing to men: Dodge. Men, what do you think?
