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

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 Partners like NFL. 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

Gas Station Heroin: The FDA Strongly Advises Against Using Any Products With Tianeptine. With 9P’s Of Marketing

My gas station heroin "Marketing" post is illustrating the 9P's of Marketing for educational purposes only. There is no Promotion. I found a ton of information on Youtube, from FDA, USA Food and Drug administration and other sources. 

The adverse effects of tianeptine include severe sedation, rapid heart rate confusion, agitation, nausea, vomiting, coma and death.

I use my 9P’s to break down problems and opportunities. The only opportunity would be to show students and my blog audiences that these are clever named, brightly colored and packaged products for a bad, unregulated product sold in gas stations and other convenience stores.

Common brand names of Gas Station Heroin with tianeptine are Neptune's Fix, Tianaa, Zaza, Pegasus and TD Red.

GSH or gas station heroin is a slang term for tianeptine
, which is an unregulated, synthetic drug commonly sold at gas stations (“Place”), vape shops and convenience stores, often promoted as a dietary supplement or as a "brain booster."

While tianeptine is used as a prescription antidepressant in some countries, it is not approved by the FDA for any medical use in the United States. You can find this drug in France (where it was first approved), Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Turkey.

Why is it called gas station heroin

It is nicknamed "gas station heroin" because it mimics the effects of opioids (like heroin or morphine) at high doses; it leads to severe addiction, chemical dependence and dangerous withdrawal symptoms.

It’s dangerous: It triggers the same brain receptors as oxycodone or fentanyl, despite being sold over-the-counter. At gas stations and other convenience stores. A Poison Control Spike: Reports to U.S. poison control centers regarding tianeptine have skyrocketed.

Bottomline: Gas Station Heroin (tianeptine/7-OH) is a dangerous drug trend in California and many other states. The FDA has warned that tianeptine is a potentially dangerous substance and has issued warnings against its use.

Not This Year. Won't Be Another Triple Crown Winner In Horse Racing. There Have Been 13 Triple Crown Winners, With 9P’s Of Marketing

Not This Year. And not having a chance of a triple crown winner of all three races affects total viewership on tv. 

There have been 13 "Triple Crown" winners.

It’s about timing, scheduling, health, happiness, and long-term future of their precious Golden Tempo. 

The Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will not run in the 2026 Preakness Stakes but is planning to run in the Belmont Stake.

The trainer says the horse needs more time. There is only two weeks between the Kentucky Derby and Preakness and three weeks between the Preakness and Belmont.

Making it more difficult The Preakness Stakes are being held at Laurel Park this year due to renovations at Baltimore's Pimlico racecourse 

There will be no Triple Crown winner this year and a debate or discussion over the sport’s calendar is happening as I write this.

Involving Marketing, sponsorships and tv audiences, what will be the calendar for its signature events.

A part of Marketing and branding, how many horses have won the Triple Crown?

Since the Kentucky Derby was established in 1875, a total of 13 horses have won the Triple Crown of thoroughbred racing. 

  1. Sir Barton (1919)
  2. Gallant Fox (1930)
  3. Omaha (1935)
  4. War Admiral (1937)
  5. Whirlaway (1941)
  6. Count Fleet (1943)
  7. Assault (1946)
  8. Citation (1948)
  9. Secretariat (1973)
  10. Seattle Slew (1977)
  11. Affirmed (1978)
  12. American Pharoah (2015)
  13. Justify (2018)

Endorsed by Popes and Celebrities, Was There a French Wine With Cocaine, Promoted For Health and Energy, Inspired By Coca-Cola? With 9P's of Marketing.

Yes, it was Vin Mariani or Mariani wine. A French wine with cocaine created in 1863, by a chemist named Angelo Mariani. It was a popular 19th-century tonic and patented medicine, inspired by the beverage, Coca-Cola.

It was a blended Bordeaux wine with coca leaves, extracting cocaine to create a stimulant promoted for its health, energy and vitality.
It was endorsed by figures such as Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius X. Celebrity endorsers included Thomas Edison, Ulysses S. Grant,  Jules Méline (the French prime minister), plus actresses, dancers and singers. 
The beverage Coca-Cola did, in fact, contain cocaine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. When the popular drink was invented, it was first promoted as a “patent medicine;” cocaine was legal and was a common ingredient in medicines. 
Coca-Cola contained cocaine from its inception in 1886 until roughly 1903. Developed by John Stith Pemberton as a “healthy tonic,” Coke’s original formula included cocaine from coca leaves plus caffeine. "Spent" leaves with trace amounts were used until 1904, with the formula becoming fully "cocaine-free" by 1929.

Dream About The Egg McMuffin You’ll Have For Breakfast Tomorrow? Plenty Of Marketing Implications? In 1970, What Time Did McDonald’s Open For Breakfast?

With some McDonald's open 24/7 and they are all around the worls, it's surprised many that  McDonald’s opened at 10:00 AM, and breakfast wasn’t served until the early ’70s. 

The Egg McMuffin was invented in Santa Barbara in 1977 and it took Wendy’s and Burger King ten years, yep, ten years to start a breakfast fare.

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. 
    • New menu ideas? 
    • 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 fast food, 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

She Was Fired For Being Too Successful Throwing Parties? In 1954 Who Was Also The First Woman To Appear On The Cover Of "Business Week?" Parties Is Not One Of The 9P's Of Marketing.

Ever hear of Tupperware and Tupperware parties? 

It was a revolutionary direct-sales method (one of the eight components, under Promotion in my 9P's), where "sales" consultants "showcased" plastic containers in homes. 

It was Brownie Wise, with an eighth grade education, a self-made woman with a genius for promoting using the component of “Promotion” and specifically sales promotion, direct sales and “events and experiences” all elements under the 9P’s of Marketing.

Ms. Wise worked as a salesperson in a clothing shop and as a secretary for Bendix Aviation. To earn extra money, she started selling and demonstrating Stanley Home Products, cleaning aids and brushes, at home parties. Stanley was a pioneer in direct selling.

In the late 1940s, Wise first saw Tupperware, with its new polyethylene products. Sales were low; they was being distributed, with limited success, to department and hardware stores.

She switched over from Stanley to Tupperware, recruited dealers and managers, and sold Tupperware at home parties. Tupperware parties are a pioneering direct-selling model developed in the 1950s,                                                                Didn't sell as well in stores. 

Wise started a company, “Tupperware Patio Parties,” and was selling far more Tupperware than the stores.

President Earl Tupper took Tupperware out of the hardware and department stores, and from that time on, Tupperware was sold exclusively at homes. 

Brownie Wise appeared on the cover of BW. Tupper grew jealous of her fame—success breed resentment. In 1958, Tupper abruptly fired her; she held no company stock and was given only a year’s salary. Tupperware was purchased by Rexall Drug Company in the late 1950s and was later a subsidiary of Tupperware Brands Corporation before being bought by a group of investors in 2024.

Wise spent the rest of her life starting unsuccessful home parties for cosmetics companies.

I have used Tupperware , it's product and how it is sold in Marketing classes. Fascinating case history in both business and Marketing.
