Marketing Fundas on top of Management fundas…

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

‘Kabhi Alvida…’ a treat for music lovers

After the huge musical hits “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” and “Kal Ho Naa Ho“, Karan Johar has hit the right notes again with “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna“, which is already a chartbuster.

He has once more teamed up with composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and lyricist Javed Akhtar, who gave the music of “Kal Ho Naa Ho”, and the outcome is enthralling.

Although Johar’s forte is romance, he ventures into a different kind of love story this time – and the music reflects it too.

The opening track is the title song “Kabhi alvida naa kehna“, a slow and sad number sung beautifully by Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam with enjoyable beats.

The next track “Mitwa“, which starts with “Love will find a way, jaaniye, heeriyain” sung by Caralisa and Shankar Mahadevan, hooks listeners instantly. Thanks to Pakistani singer Shafqat Amanat Ali, who has churned out catchy tunes by fusing Pakistani and Indian classical music.

If music lovers fell for “It’s the time to disco” from “Kal Ho Naa Ho”, they will also love “Where’s the party tonight“. The romantic and sentimental track sung by Shaan and Vasundhara Das is also a blend of Indian and Western music.

Tumhi dekho naa“, sung by Alka and Sonu, is the best song of the album. It has the feel of “Suraj hua maddham” and “Kuch to hua hai” and is a feast for the ears.

“Mitwa Revisited” is the remix version of the song “Mitwa” which sounds quite trendy and cool.

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy once again have Amitabh Bachchan jiving to their tunes in …

Rock ‘n roll soniye“. Shankar’s voice modulation may have many thinking that Amitabh himself has sung the number.

The last track, “Farewell trance“, is an instrumental number and is worth listening.

‘Cartoon Network Duniya’ on Doordarshan

Cartoon Network, a hot favourite with most children, has designed a new show exclusively for Doordarshan viewers titled “Cartoon Network Duniya” that starts July 8.

The hour-long show will come on every Saturday at 10.30 p.m. and feature two of Turner’s popular and original productions – “M.A.D” (Music, Art and Dance show) and “Codename: Kids Next Door“.

“Doordarshan’s extensive reach across India will enable kids in non-C&S (cable and satellite) homes to enjoy Turner’s engaging original production, that has so far been limited to C&S homes,” said Anshuman Misra, managing director of Turner International India.

“In the preliminary stage, the highly rated ‘M.A.D’ and popular animation series ‘Codename: Kids Next Door’ will serve as the perfect introduction to new viewers. Later in the year, ‘Galli Galli Sim Sim’ will further enhance this appeal by showcasing content that is both educational and entertaining in nature.”

“Galli Galli Sim Sim” is the Indian version of the globally renowned pre-school series “Sesame Street”.

The show is aimed at serving 157 million children under the age of six in India and is also committed to supporting India’s Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (Universal Access to Education).

Indians are the biggest spenders in mall world

A new survey on splurging offers a contention that you will not find too difficult to buy: Indians are among the world’s most prolific shoppers.

Buy all means

  • ACNielsen’s study involving 22,000 respondents shows that Asians are the world’s most unabashed shopaholics
  • One in four consumers shops ‘as a form of entertainment’ once a month
  • In Asia, one in four respondents thinks shopping is ‘something to do’ once a week

  • Hungama wins over kids with three skits

    The UTV-promoted Hungama TV claims that it has become the most viewed channel in 4-14 age group among socio-economic class ABC category in the Hindi-speaking markets.

    The channel attributes this to the huge popularity of its programmes like Doraemon, Hero and Shaka Laka Boom Boom. According to Television Audience Measurement (TAM), a TV viewership analysis firm, its ratings for the week June 11, 2006 – June 17, 2006, show that the channel attracted the maximum eyeballs.

    Hungama TV content head Zarina Mehta attributed the channel’s winning speck to localised programming, ideation, execution and aggressive on-ground marketing initiatives. In line with the ratings, the channel has recorded a 40% jump in revenues.

    Innovative marketing initiatives, strong distribution network and aggressive sales targets have contributed towards creating hungama at Hungama TV. I think that it’s a spot-on achievement that the top three programmes on Kids Television in India now belong to us,� she said.

    The channel attributes most of the credit for its success to John Abraham, whom it recently signed on as the brand ambassador.

    20,000 soccer pitches at the tip of a hair

    A German scientist has created the world’s smallest soccer pitch — so minute that 20,000 of them could fit onto the tip of a human hair.

    The imitation playing field, created by using nanotechnology, measures 500 by 380 nanometres and can only be seen through a special microscope, said creator Stefan Trellenkamp, whose country is hosting the 2006 World Cup.

    I am really, really proud,” the nanotechnology researcher from the University of Kaiserslautern told Reuters by telephone.

    The only problem is that I really don’t know what to do with it. I can’t put it on show as no one can see it,” he said.

    “I guess it’ll just stay in my drawer for the time being”.
