I remember reading somewhere the comment from a CEO (or similar) that 50% of any marketing budget was wasted but nobody knew didn't know which 50%.
The comment that all publicity is good publicity also resonates amongst all this debate.

Marketing - meh. I wouldn't ask an estate agent to build my house.

It comes down to credibility. Hetherington says it, the sports media take note. Koukash says it ... nothing.

Everyone thinks they know what marketing is. It's hilarious.

Marketing is a lot of things. It's never hilarious.

This is most definitely not true. There are many examples of individuals and companies ruined by publicity.

I suspect we were all unaware we had a guru on our board. Feel free to enlighten us all rather than just making a pointless comment. I assume you must be world renowned in the field yes?

I would like to be associated with the words of this speaker.

Yours Sincerely,

Gerald Ratner

Lol. Suspect Mr VW has also been reluctant to open many papers in recent weeks.

Feel free to point out where I denied the truth ( or otherwise ) of what you've posted.

"Bath owner Bruce Craig says the club want £800,000 for Sam Burgess, compared to the fee of £275,000 they paid to sign him..."

Well Well Well. A Figure and an intent to sell?

It wasn't a dig at you. I was pointing out that the old adage isn't true.

Burgess leaves Bath....

Marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements efficiently and profitably.

Quote ="TOMCAT"Sometimes you come across as a very angry person.

My retort was said sarcastically, not angrily.

For souths. BBC

Will you stop chatting b*ll*cks for once!

I was always going on Season Tickets only, others have rambled on about the whole world of marketing.

The only claim I made was that I don't THINK GH did it for that reason.....unless you (and one or two others) know better and he told you his reasons then stop carrying on like you DEFINITELY know his motivation for saying it and carrying on like I've have somehow been proved wrong.

at least he is back where he belongs.Would have liked to have seen him in blue and amber for a year in his prime, but is great for England that he is back in the fold.

There still might be a 12 mth loan to Leeds

Can we crock SoL and bring Burgess in

Just to get everyone's hopes up GH should announce a press conference for tomorrow morning

And going on about season tickets was highlighting your lack of knowledge. Nobody would draw a straight line between those things. It was a nonsensical claim. A claim only someone with no knowledge or experience of the field would make.

You were wrong and the more you narrow your argument to try and avoid that the more you highlight your lack of knowledge in this area.


Good news about Burgess though.

Bath expected to issue statement tomorrow BBC reports. Still nothing official from Souths or Leeds

Source?

He said 'should' announce, not 'has'.

And fingers crossed the 12 month loan may still be on the table if Souths can't fit him under the SC next season, haven't seen it ruled out yet.

No if you go back several pages before you got involved you'll see that someone else brought up Season Tickets sales, I responded about ST sales.....thus I've only ever been on about ST sales because that's what was originally brought up.

Only people like yourself trying be smarts tried to widen it to all marketing and then throw it on me.
