Is economic security the main reason?

[opusone]

That's why it works so well, and companies pay huge amounts of money to have it done by professionals. Try it sometime.

What you are selling IS gobbledygook!

This notion of society permitting a consumer to buy a product is nonsense, unless it refers to repealing laws such as the repeal of Prohibition to permit adults to buy alcohol.  If it refers to social norms, it is utter nonsense.

It is nonsense because the first stage of a product's life-cycle is that of the initial adopters or innovators.  BY DEFINITION, these consumers are doing something contrary to social norms by consuming a good that no one else ever has before.   All products start out without social permission or acceptance.

These last few posts reminded me of why I disliked the marketing courses I had to take.  This is my last on this topic.

Very few understand the difference between "giving you what you already want", and telling you what you want/need. ...Im dying here.... If you think a company that branded itself a certain way in 1968, does the same thing today, because of the original idea,(telling you what you need) you my friend, are out of touch. Just spam me baby.

Maybe you should take a few courses in advanced  neuro -marketing  in the year 2011 A.D., as opposed to "some" courses in economics in whatever year that was.  I'm sure it won't be, as you so eloquently state," globbledygook", after you grasp the concept of neuro -science, and how it correlates to marketing. They are seeking impulse response, which are no longer defined by sex, race, etc. Perfect example... anti aging/skin care/ cosmetic surgery/ was a term synonymous with women, and was widely believed to be something only women would want to see, or hear about. Even more so, it was thought that it was women who were over the age of 55, or straddling the lines of menopause. That would be considered antiquated in any advanced boiler room operation cranking out ads for creams, procedures, pills.  However, upon closer examination, today , men ,are just as obsessed with skin care and youth, and have just as many procedures as women, to stave off the inevitable.  Products today are not generally marketed in mass, simply because you have defined the "target" . The old axiom of supply and demand", has more to do with what is permitted by the standards in a given society, and a segment of society, no longer dictates how one would create "triggers" to buy . Hence, men today wear more feminine clothing than ever...(metro sexual), women drive more muscle cars and trucks,(there's your hybrid suv). That was permission marketing at work within the bounds of what society accepts as standard. I could go on and on, but it's probably too much "gobbledygook". Some call it science.

It's hard to imagine why you even come here. Almost all your posts begin with you taking a partial quote from another member here and then you insulting and trying to ridicule them based on the snippet you cut and paste. Cheap shots.

You've done it to countless members, including Innocent Vixen, BrazillianGirl, Mickey, Bob_S Jeff S and me, and that's just a handful---well, six anyways, for starters. Oh--don't let me forget--you've even done it to Whitey, who we all know is a real vicious kind of guy and I'm sure you were just trying to deliver 'truth and justice'' to make him into a nice fellow like yourself.
 
Your posts have almost never had anything to do with international 'interpersonal' relationships--almost nothing to help others searching for relationship answers and discourse. Typically, they're about anything BUT interpersonal relationships you've experienced. You don't help people--you seem to be here more to try and stick crap in other person's faces. You berate others when they in a polite way, comment quizzically on something you've posted, as if you're impervious to any criticism. You make it sound like if someone hasn't gone to a university in the last year or two, they are clueless. There's a lot of knowledge that's 'cutting edge' that you don't have to go to Wharton or Harvard to get, Poindexter.....

 
Back to education, your lack of personal skills and the pronounced lack of anything personal or meaningful posted about relationships with women (other than typically snide ones about other person's relationships) makes it painfully clear that you haven't had much if any of that. I'd gather I've attended and lectured at more universities numerically than you've had meaningful, never mind sexual, relationships with PEOPLE! And you're in Colombia?--Where--Cartegena? Plenty of people and jack asses there! Maybe you ARE getting some! "Metrosexual" did you say? What else, pray tell? Get around a bit, but all for naught?

 
Your Hermanita Neuromarketing 'company'?  It is so insignificant--that is IF it's actually not just a pigment of your imagination--that the only mention of it on the world wide web is it in reference to your antagonistic posts here on P-L! Maybe if you stick around, you should be labled a "Commercial Member"!

 
You seem to have a grossly inflated regard for yourself and utter disdain for others. On the one hand, you do seem somewhat intelligent, but that's more than cancelled out by the 'idiot factor' that is apparently an integral problem with the defects and other obstructions in your pia matter. I think you really, really need psychiatric help, but your sort is typically the last to embrace that and the least likely to respond to treatment, even if they could get you in!

 
You may think that this 'neuromarketing' is something really great, but frankly, Pavlov and his dog were on to  something much more significant some time back....
 

I think to best and briefly describe where your sick mind is coming from, you should look at your post from a few months back--quoted here in it's entirety:

I thought I was a vallanato , according to you...hahaha... it changes everyday ? It's just an opinion, and a forum, and if it makes you feel better, by all means, rock on, Sir. If the owner of the forum thinks I am disruptive, I am sure he will let me know. Other than that, we all have opinions, and you know what that is like.

      Don't worry too much about it. Roberto is just arm chair moderating and I am just poking fun.

Robert,

One of your shortest and perhaps best post in years....and I find myself in 100% agreement.
