It's Super Bowl LXI Coming On February 14th--Valentine's Day. Presentation And Promotion Under The 9P's Of Marketing. What About The L Or 50th?

I was just thinking of the Roman Numerals and found a Marketing presentation 11 years ago. 

Super Bowl L or Super Bowl 50 kicked off after the 2015 season. 

The NFL made the change to Super Bowl 50, one time. CBS was the network. I guess they didn't like the idea of L for "Loser?"  Instead of naming it Super Bowl L using the traditional Roman numerals as in previous Super Bowls, this "special" game was promoted in Arabic numerals as in "50."

Another way to describe the Super Bowl 50; it can be called the "Golden Super Bowl," being located in the Golden State (California); plus the 50th anniversary is named the "golden anniversary."

ESPN and ABC will telecast the LXI game in the United States in 2027.

It will be played at SoFi Stadium home of the Rams and the Chargers. This will be the first Super Bowl held at the home of two Los Angeles teams. 

In the 9P's of Marketing I define "Presentation:"

• This “P” or “Presentation” is the act of presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. I guess I'd add players or employees. 

The act of presenting may be symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind. takes it to another level. A shaky, noisy level or chair or nearby home.

I am a senior Forensic Marketing Expert, Advertising/Marketing consultant with Londre Marketing Consultants, LLC plus I teach Marketing and Advertising. I own a copyright for this concept, the Nine P’s/9 P's ©2007, which augments the Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Promotion and Place) or the 4P’s by the American Marketing Association, Neil Borden and Jerome McCarthy in the study and practices of Marketing.

The Nine P's/9P's help identify marketing problems in a number of areas and help develop marketing’s objectives, strategies, tactics and solutions.  The Nine P's are insightful. In Marketing. the "Customer," or potential customers are king, but are missing in the 4P's.

I consult and teach using the concepts and practices of the Nine P's/9P's of Marketing.

In the study and practice of Marketing, Marketing and Brand Managers develop plans, strategies and tactics. The Nine P’s include these important components:

• People (The football and sporting target market and more.)
• It's about Segmentation and Targeting; "People" or targeting has almost always been left out of the traditional "Marketing Mix."  Almost every diagram includes the four P's with "Consumer" or "People" or "Potential Buyers" in the middle of the circle. There needs to be more focus on the "Customer," or "People." 
• "People," market segments utilizing demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics are a vital component of the 9P's. Once a target market is chosen, the organization can develop its marketing strategies to target this market segment. 
• There are still questions:  Can the segments be accessed?  Marketing strategies need to be adapted for the different tiers or segments. Instead of viewing the market as a uniform group of customers with similar potential, the firm needs to view them as distinct groups or segments with differing potential.
• Product
• Place (Distribution)
• Price
• Planning
• Promotion
• Partners, with plenty of "Partners" when dealing with "Presentation" and "Promotion" of the local, national and global exposure of the Super Bowl. 
• Presentation
• Passion

NBA’s Draft: Not A Bad Line In Marketing For His Target Market...The The Washington Wizards. He Said “I Fill Seats.”

One week from tonight, the NBA Draft on ABC and ESPN. . 

What caught my eye was the line “I Fill Seats.” And that the draft prospect took his day with his potential employers, NBA teams, seriously, as a "Job Interview."

You want sales. You want to put butts in seats, an old marketing objective.

Wing AJ Dybantsa:  He’s may be the #1 pick in the NBA Draft: He said “I fill seats.”

At the NBA Draft Combine he showed up in a suit and tie for his conversations or interviews with teams, the Washington Wizards, LA Clippers, Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks. Those teams are his target or "People." 

Yes, dressed in a gray plaid suit, blue dress shirt and a tie, not like the looks from the NFL Draft. 

Good family or good agent or both. I found a quote: “…this is your job interview. So come professional, come in a suit.”

He’s from BYU, and making it easier to be picked #1, with his words, demeaner and look. He does have the skills. 

There’s competition for that top spot from Duke’s Cameron Boozer, Kansas’ Darryn Peterson and North Carolina’s Caleb Wilson.

It’s The Wizards picking first, then Jazz at # 2, the Grizzlies at #. 3 and the Bulls at # 4.

The 2026 NBA Draft will be held on June 23 and June 24, 2026, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. 

It's a two-night event  and AJ will be taken on day one. Starting at 5 p.m. PT, my time, with coverage on ESPN and ABC.

I like Marketing. I like Promotion, one of my nine P's of Marketing

I like advertising, which is one of the eight components under Promotion in my 9P's of Marketing. 

I like copy and selling points. I like finding Marketing opportunities and solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court (legal, not a basketball court, but I do like almost all sports), as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include these important concepts, practices and components:

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

• Planning and Research. 
• Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
• Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, sales. All sales, whether in services --putting butts in seats or butts in beds--, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as examples. 
• Sports teams are brands. 
• From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• Consumers and users, as in fans, shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add travelers. 
• In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• Product and Services, includes airports, sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
• Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of airports, team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
• Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
• Promotion: 
• There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
• The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:

• Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
• Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
• Advertising: 
Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
• Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here. 
• Collateral Materials
• Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
• Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
• Events and Experiences, sampling
• Public Relations/PR
• One stop shopping is more important than ever. 

• Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.                 
• There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 

• Presentation:
• The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

  Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

• Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product. Or maybe at a Wizards game next year in Los Angeles.

Putting Texas and Japan Together, Under "People" In The 9P's Of Marketing, . Why?

It's the World Cup, Baby.

Japan played Netherlands on June 14th; they play Tunisia on June 20th and Sweden on June 25th

We've seen World Cup driving a nearly 70% rise in travel to host cities such as Arlington or Dallas, Texas

The World Cup has generated increased global and international travel to the 16 North American host cities, 

Japanese travelers have led the increase, with flight bookings to host cities up 250% during the initial group stage.

That means more revenue for hotels and restaurants, too.

Talking politics and branding. Winning elections with marketing.

The Marketing Perception Of The World Cup Isn't Good. World Cup Ticket Fiascos, Issues And Controversies, With 9P’s Of Marketing’

For the World Cup: Plenty of ticketing problems. 

There have been key World Cup ticketing issues and controversies, such as ticketing issues, ticketing allocations, ticket cancellations, ticket seat downgrades, scams, frauds (selling counterfeit tickets), ticketing pricing (as in exponential price increases) and a “free ticket” glitch. I can add, among others. 

Simply put the World Cup ticket distribution has been plagued by several ticketing errors and system and management mistakes. 

Add the way FIFA turned their World Cup into a ticket nightmare and a cash grab

As an excuse, FIFA says World Cup tickets are so expensive because it has received over 500 million requests....that's tells only part of the Marketing and operational story.

This year’s World Cup will be the biggest in history. Why? They expanded the format from 32 to 48 teams plus the number of matches will increase from 64 to 104.

Under “Place,” in my 9P’s, the matches will be played across three countries — Canada, Mexico, and the United States — with 16 host cities. The US is the world’s largest economy and will host 79 games of the tournament’s 104 matches. 

They estimate seven million fans in less than 40 days 

This year’s World Cup is not only the biggest tournament in history; it is also will be the most expensive.

The cheapest tickets are around $200, nearly four times more than the $60 per ticket fans paid in Qatar in 2022.  I looked up the price for this year’s final is $2,000, handily exceeding the previous record of previous $500.

Is it greed? Demand? Being opportunistic or all three? We'll never know with the mismanagement.

While COSTCO And Grocery Stores Are Pretty Good At Sampling (Sales Promotion, One Of The Elements, Under “Promotion” in The 9P’s Of Marketing), Especially During The Holidays, What Company HasThe Greatest Sampling Program, Ever, Which Was Global?

During World War II, it was Coca-Cola which played a significant role in global markets by transforming itself from a primarily American product into a global icon.

The Coca-Cola Company established 64 bottling plants overseas to supply Allied troops, ensuring a five-cent bottle was available regardless of location, following a pledge to General George Marshall. I have read President Eisenhower was a huge fan too.

These “portable” bottling plants were managed by what were named Technical Observers" in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific, distributing over five billion bottles by 1945.

Interestingly, Coca-Cola’s had a dual-pronged approach or program of supporting Allied troops while maintaining a presence in Nazi Germany.

These actions during the war and after,  particularly its partnership (another of the 9P’s “Partners”) with the U.S. military, laid the groundwork for its postwar global dominance.

• There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 

• Presentation:
• The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

  Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

• Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product

Why Didn’t Steven Spielberg's Team Of Storytellers And Filmmakers In One Of The Highest Grossing Box Office Films Of All Time “ET: The Extra-Terrestrial” Use The Popular Candy, M&M's? Product, Partners and Promotion Under 9P's Of Marketing

It was 44 yeas ago today that the highly successful movie "ET: The Extra-Terrestrial” opened. 

A smash hit and didn't use M&M's. Why? 

Steven Spielberg's team of storytellers and filmmakers were turned down by Mars, Inc. 

They subsequently went with Reese’s Pieces (owned by Hershey’s) which, through the movies success and a $1 Million “partner” merchandising, promotion, saw a huge surge in popularity and sales.

Reese's Peanut Butter pieces, a product line extension of Reese's Peanut Butter ups, are consistently ranked as one of the most popular, top-selling candies in the U.S. and worldwide, with roughly a third of Americans ("People") naming them their favorite Halloween candy.

It's been written and discussed in podcasts that Spielberg's team came to Mars with no script, just some early drawing of what ET might look like and asked for $1M in the 1980's.

Spielberg had just made a flop with the adult comedy, 1942. He had never made a kid's movie and was most famous for "Jaws."

E.T. has been a massive box office success, grossing approximately $797.3 million worldwide during its initial run and subsequent re-releases, making it one of the highest-grossing films of all time. It was produced on a budget of just $10.5 million.

I like Marketing. I like Promotion, one of my nine P's of Marketing

I like advertising, which is one of the eight components under Promotion in my 9P's of Marketing. 

I like copy and selling points. I like finding Marketing opportunities and solving Marketing problems using the nine P's of Marketing. I like teaching them. 

I use my 9P's to illustrate Marketing examples in the classroom, in court as an expert witness, in seminars and to solve Marketing problems and to find opportunities. 

My 9P's of Marketing do include these important concepts, practices and components:

I am using the 9P's with Planning, People, Product, Price, Promotion, Place, Partners, Presentation and Passion to illustrate an unusual insight or example. To find opportunities and problems in Marketing.

• Planning and Research. 


• Finding copy points is part of the creative and promotional planning. 
• Planning for marketing activities, objectives, strategies and tactics. Viewership, revenue, sales. All sales, whether in services, fashion, sports, amusement parks, hotels, resorts, autos, fast food, retail sales or tires, refreshments or cereal, as three examples. 
• From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
• People (Segmentation and Targeting)
• Consumers and users, as in shoppers. Fashion consumers. Add travelers. 
• In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users. 
• Product and Services, includes airports, sports teams, people and celebrities too. I teach that perfection resides in quality, not quantity.
• Place (Distribution), includes retail and online. How about locations of airports, team stadiums, amusement parks and resorts?  
• Price or Pricing, many contingency plans needed.  
• Promotion: 
• There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
• The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:

• Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
• Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
• Advertising: 
Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
• Sales Promotion, advertising mascots can fit here, too. Signage would fit here. 
• Collateral Materials
• Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
• Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
• Events and Experiences, sampling
• Public Relations/PR
• One stop shopping is more important than ever. 

• Partners/Alliances, can be one of the most powerful of the 9P's if researched, performed and handled well.                 
• There should be moving forward towards shared goals or goals. 

• Presentation:
• The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

  Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

• Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product
