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

Updated In June 2026: Promotional Lines And More Used By Real Estate Agents And Realtors (There's A Difference) In Playa Vista Or "Silicon Beach," With The Nine P's Of Marketing.

We live in Playa Vista. 90094. The past 13 years. 

I grew up about three or four miles from Playa Vista, in old Ladera Heights, not what was called "new (west of La Cienega)" or "upper Ladera Heights (north of Slauson, west of La Cienega)."

I remember catching pollywogs and frogs at the corner of Centinela and Sepulveda. I remember the small lake at La Tijera ("the scissors") and La Cienega where the Ralphs is now. Where Builders Emporium was located, first.  

I went to St. Jerome's and Loyola High, plus two degrees from USC. 

I know the geographic and selling area well. 

For 50+ years I have been a marketing and advertising professional. While working full-time, I taught 78 semesters of Marketing, Advertising, Global Marketing and Business Strategies, over 40 years at USC, Pepperdine (all five campuses, in their MBA program), LMU, CSUN and am a guest speaker at several universities and colleges, law schools (USC Gould, Ucla, Southwestern and Loyola Law School) plus professional groups/societies.

Reasons for the post, which I started in 2016:  

The realtors and agents say and promote that they are: #1 (in so many ways how can there be that many Numero Unos or Unas? Out market. Out sell. Out work. Out perform. 

Plus the realtor who wrote: "I usually don't resort to this type of letter, as I don't like receiving these types of letters from realtors." Really.  

Or a mailer that include "hype" and included "We make no warranties or representation about the content of this mailer." 

Or the realtor or wrote copy, caps: "I CAN MARKET YOUR HOME WORLWIDE." 

For educational purposes plus as a Marketing expert and as a former VP of our HOA, our residents started to get a ton of unsolicited mail and promotional materials from agents and realtors. We have had real estate agents and realtors knocking on our doors in Playa Vista, dropping off literature which isn't permitted by PVPAL. Calling out of the blue. 

Most overused line by the industry:  "Just sold." Doesn't say how long it took, at what commission, asking price; was it priced for an easy sell? In spring '26 one selling strategy now is underpricing almost all nine homes on a promotional flyer. 

Second one: "I know marketing," from an agent or realtor. Please!  So overused and they can't usually give you a definition of Marketing and accurately breaking the practice of Marketing into hundreds of components.  May never have taken one marketing class. 

I give presentations at business schools, grad schools and law schools (15 years at Loyola Law School), plus associations and groups. My topics for an interactive discussion on "What are the Differences between Marketing and Advertising." Or simply "What is Marketing? What is Advertising?" Agents and realtors usually can't tell you the difference. Sad, but true. 

We get a lot of unsolicited promotional materials from realtors and agents. I started collecting the slogans and headlines. Some of these slogans, body copy, tag lines and headlines are better than others. Some are simply, unbelievable.

Regarding slogans and headlines: Many promotional lines. Some more competitive than others. Some with exaggeration and hyperbole, plus "puffery." Many with no relevant dates or time periods. 

I'll add a few comments from my experiences from teaching Marketing and Advertising, Marketing consulting and expert witnessing in court. 

We have used a few of these realtors and agents. We know their reputations. Some are better than others. Some have good reputations, others not so good. 

On our Network Exchanges some are regarded as "untrustworthy." I have not been able to fully verify these claims. This post is for educational purposes, cocktail "talk," and a teaching and learning situations for homeowners, potential homeowners and others.  

• June 2026: "Sell on your terms. From open houses to private off-market sales, we have selling options to achieve your goals." 9P's Marketing Question: Are you (homeowner)  getting and generating the best buyers and the best prices if you have limited awareness? 
• June 2026: "No open houses necessary. Unique commission structure" Question: are you getting and generating the best buyers and the best prices if you have limited awareness? 
• April 2026: Love this one: "Our systematic and aggressive approach delivers our sellers the best possible outcomes."  But footnote says "We make no warranties or representation about the content of this mailer." 
• April 2026: "More buyers will be looking. Buyers showings are "typically" higher during the spring."
• April 2026: Homes "Usually" sell faster in the Spring."
• Everyone sells their "Teams." April 2026. If you do a Google search for number one team in Playa Vista or Number One team in Silicon Beach you get not a realtor but "Google is generally considered the top tech cornerstone of Silicon Beach."
• April 2026: A "LOT THAT STANDS OUT COMING SOON" "Broker/Agent does not guarantee the accuracy of the square footage, lot size or other information concerning the conditions or features of the property provided by seller or obtained from public records or other sources. Buyer is advised to independently verify the accuracy of all information through personal inspection and with appropriate professionals. The property may have video/surveillance devices. 
• April 2026: "Twilight sneak peak, but with hors d'oeuvres, wine and champagne.
• March 2026. No open houses are necessary and Unique commission structures are two differentiators. 
• March 2026: "SELL ON YOUR TERMS." 
• April 2023: "We Market Homes Differently...I add a comment. They do add "we can help sell your home for the highest possible price," which is unbelievable, to me. 
• February 2023: The market might be slow, but we have been active...
• February 2023: We'll sell your home in 30 days or less guaranteed, or we'll buy it** (with font size you need a magnifying glass to read)
• February 2023: A Market Shift is Happening, What Does it Mean?
• February 2023: What are your real estate goals? We can sell yours too.
• January 2023: "Let's work together." 
• January 2023: "Robin has a passion for real estate..."
• January 2023: We can sell your property of home within 20 days. 
• January 2023: Playa Vista's #1 Agents. I'll let you guess there are plenty of #1's.
• January 2023: Top sales or top seller
• February 2022: "We'll sell your home in 30 days or less. Guaranteed, Or we'll buy it!!
• January 2022: Connect with us to build a marketing strategy for your home." 
• January 2022: For Playa Vista--One realtor said they sold 95 homes (63 in PV), and another realtor said that only 60 total homes were sold in 2021 FULL YEAR in PLAYA VISTA. What gives? 
• October 2021: "What others do? Install for sale sign; Post Property to MLS; Create and Print flyers; Wait for calls and wonder what's going on; Reduce property price."  A little harsh. Promotion and copywriting by Suarez Team of KW
• October 2021: The Monster Dash 5K sponsored by Compas, and I'd label that under "promotion, Events and Experiences, under 9P's of Marketing
• September 2021 "In 2021, we've helped over 250 families ...buy and sell local real estate."
• January 2019: We get mailers every day from Realtors even though we are on a do not mail list. It seems they don't care and just do mass mailings. We received a mailer from Pier to Pier. They state "flat fee." Pay only $15K to the listing broker.  Their "Place," one of the nine P's of Marketing. Pier to Pier includes "Sellers from the South Bay to Downtown L.A. (DTLA) and points beyond are saving tens of thousands of dollars by listing with them. "
  "WE ACTUALLY DO MORE TO MARKET PROPERTIES THAN AGENTS CHARGING MUCH HIGHER COMMISSIONS..." 
  Does that pass the logic test? 
• January 2019: One of the good ones, Winnie Lichit says, Playa Vista is about "HOME. FAMILY. FRIENDSHIPS. SCHOOL. COMMUNITY." I would agree. 
• September 2018: Flexner + Ziari stated "...that Playa Vista had cracked the top 10 for property crime in L.A. Then they offered some security tips. 
• September 2018: Do you think real estate commissions are too high? Offering a 1% listing side commission, with PiertoPier brokers. 
• August 2018: With the headline WHY NOT SAVE $10,000-$40,000." Bob & Cheryl have a price and discount strategy.  The seller "may" save by having the same broker for seller and buyer. Not sure you the seller get the SAME Full Service!!!"
• From July 2018: "Syndication to all websites." Not sure what that means. 
• From July 2018: "Pay 1% listing commission or no escrow fees -your choice." Using Price and Pricing to promote.  A form of discounting.  Very small font: "Buyer's Broker commission calculated separately." 
• From June 2018: Two calling themselves the "Top Playa Vista Real Estate Team." They use body copy of "most closed transactions." 
• From June 2018: A broker/realtor stating "we have successfully sold home in your neighborhood."

• From December 2017: Tami Humphrey says "#1 in home sales." 
• From November 2017: Receive plenty of mailers from Jesse Weinberg and Vivian Lesny, who claim to be the #1 Sales Team Nationwide for Keller Williams Realty.
• From October 2017: Got a mailer, unsolicited from Daniel Lowe of Gibson International: With four typos. How's that for detail? (home, should have been home's; qulified, should have been qualified; mazimize, should have been maximize; personailzed, should have been personalized--what a spell check problem for me in this post. How many mailers did he send with the misspellings?

• From October 2017, Jesse Weinberg and Vivian Lesny promoted a "Twilight Open House" for a property in Dorian.

• From April 2017, Playa Vista Reporter and Robert Pitts Estates: Featuring a home in Ladera Heigths. Really? Zip code 90056 isn't 90094. I grew up in 90056 and live in 90094. Let's be real. 
• From April 2017: Flexner + Ziari: "More Playa Vista Homes Sold Than Any Other Brokers."  "We have sold more homes in this area than any other realtors and will talk you through what to expect." Backup?

• Fineman and Suarez, I met one of the agents in the past two weeks. Here's input from another mailer "Experts predict up to 3 increases throught ...2017, totally 1%...This decreases a buyer's purchase power by 10%. On a $1 Million home, that is $100K."
• Winnie Licht: "Coldwell Banker’s #1 Real Estate Broker Associate in Playa Vista" (We have used her and Julie Walker to purchase a home. I'm a fan. They have used me as a positive reference.) I believe they are "Market Leaders," as they use and promote that headline.
• "We're the #1 Marketing Team in Silicon Beach" (12/2016) Fineman Suarez (Londre question: Based on research?)

• Team? Playa Vista Premiere promotes: "The hardest working team in real estate." Or "Let the hardest working team in real estate work for you." Really? 

I will keep adding to this list.

What makes a good tag line? Want to see some good ones?                                   

With great Marketing strategies, the best ones are short, powerful summations that companies and firms use to drive their brand message home to consumers. Or potential home buyers or sellers. 

Think "Just do it" and "We try harder."  Would love that all realtors would just do it---by buying and/or selling; that they were knowledgeable and worked harder. Subjective, I know. 

Small companies can create and craft taglines and headlines which can be every bit as effective as those of the big creative machines. 

• "You're in good hands with Allstate" (1956, Allstate Insurance)
• "Got milk?" (1993, California Milk Processor Board)
• "Don't leave home without it" (1975, American Express)
• "Just do it" (1988, Nike)
• "Where's the beef?" (1984, Wendy's)
• "Think different" (1998, Apple Computer)
• "We try harder" (1962, Avis)
• "Tastes great, less filling" (1974, Miller Light)
• "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands" (1954, M&M Candies)
• "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking" (1956, Timex)

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

Is The TV Series “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” On Apple+ Better Than Book? With 9P’s Of Marketing

Our book club is reviewing the book and the Apple series Margo’s Got Money Troubles.”

Many have heard that the author said the series is better than his book.

I looked it up. No she didn’t. I feel the are great to watch series which I did and then read the book. Up front: Thorpe has not claimed the series is better than the book 

I recommend both.

Many times the movie doesn’t capture the essence of the book. Think “Lovel Bones,” “Where the Crawdads Lie.” Many of the early John Grisham movies adapted from his books. 

Look at Books versus Movies at Book vs Movie Comparisons — BooksVersusMovies.com

With “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” I feel it is better to watch and read. As in watch the series and then read the book.

I found out that Rufi Thorpe has not publicly said that the Apple TV+ series is better than the book.

She has emphasized that the book’s first-person voice are a defining strengths, maybe lost. But Elle Fanning knocks the ball out of the park with her acting. She’s a producer too. I’ve learned about OnlyFans too.

Thorpe has not made a direct comparison rating, comparing and ranking the series above the book.

About the story: “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” follows Margo Millet (ELLE Fanning), who had to drop out of school struggling to raise her baby amid mounting bills. The father? Her English professor.

She reconnects with her estranged ex-pro wrestler father, Jinx, she turns to OnlyFans—using his wrestling advice on storytelling. —to make ends meet, while questioning the personal cost of internet fame. Created by David E. Kelley and based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, the Apple TV+ series has a cast of  Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer  and Nicole Kidman. The book and series are excellent.

Quirky too. Both.

• 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

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?

Have You Read Or Heard “OMG,” Lately? When Was The First Use Of This Web-Friendly Abbreviation? With The 9P's Of Marketing

NGL.

                   OMG

There is a longer history to that expression than you would expect.

If I Asked What Shoe Brand Does Steph Curry Represent, Would You Know?

Guesses?

Nike?

New Balance?

Adidas?

Skechers?

Puma?

Under Armour? 

His last sponsor or "Partner," under the 9P's was Under Armour. A decade, with them. Did you even know? 

No, Steph Curry signed a sneaker deal with Li-Ning.

The Golden State Warriors star announced that he’s taking his Curry Brand to Li-Ning.

Another ten year deal.

But it's more than shoes; it's athleisure wear, a full golf line and more.

He can also sign athletes under his brand. Alliances and Partners galore. 

Curry wrote that “The future of Curry Brand will be powered by a company truly rooted in sports and innovation,” “A partner dedicated to creating quality products with sneakers that I believe in that will continue to deliver at the highest level. … Together, we will continue the Curry Brand mission with stories, platforms and products that will inspire the next generation around the globe.”
