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.

Visit here for more insights and true Marketing and Advertising Trivia.

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

Under "Product" In The 9P's Of Marketing, What Was Designed To Be Distinctive, Patented And To Be Recognized In Day Or Night, Whole Or Broken, All Over The Globe?

Known all over the world.

This package or bottle design earned the name “Mae West, by distributors, marketers and consumers, of Coca-Cola. 

It’s the iconic, distinctive, curvaceous Coca-Cola "contour" bottle, introduced in 1916.  The package or “product” was actually inspired by the cocoa bean's ribs and designed to mimic the 1910s "hobble-skirt" fashion trend.

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

Offering Maternity Leave, Bonuses For Having Babies, Tax Savings And Paid Child Care, Which Country Has A Lower Birth Rate Than The United States? With 9P's Of Marketing

Marketing is about People and Products and More. 

The Answer: It’s Singapore. Its birthrate is lower than the United States, and the US birthrate has fallen every year except one since 2009. 

The rates are below what some “experts” call replacement rate or the number of new babies to keep the population level stable.

More from John Hopkins: the U.S. birth rate has dropped significantly, reaching an all-time low in 2024 with a fertility rate of less than births per woman, well below the replacement level. This long-term trend, lasting over two decades, is driven by women delaying marriage, increasing career opportunities, higher living costs, and fewer teen births.

Fewer consumers. Fewer Marketing employees?

With $500 Million Invested In Equipment And Technology, How Unsuccessful Was The “Picture Phone?” The Promotional Headline Was “Logical extension of today’s telephone service.”

It was too far out, ahead of its time, more than sixty years ago.

Bell Telephone’s “Picturephone” was introduced and promoted at the 1964 World’s Fair. 

A tiny black and white video screen.

Sales estimates were a million subscribers by 1980. Only 70 takers in the first six months. Price or cost was $160 per month or in today’s dollars about  $1,686.63 a month.

FaceTime has the potential of more than 1.2 Billion users, worldwide.
What about Zoom? 

Zoom has over 220K business customers. While total individual users are in the hundreds of millions, Zoom's focus is on enterprise and business licenses, which allow 300 to 1,000+ participants.

I pay for Zoom for both personal and business. Free basic Zoom plans allow up to 100 participants per a 40-minute meeting.

Why Does Auction House Christie’s Destroy The Empties At Their Wine Tasting Events Prior To The Auctions? With 9P's Of Marketing

Old bottles can fetch big dollars. Bottle scavengers can sell an empty wine bottle for $320. Yes, empty. The counterfeiters then add a lower quality wine and that bottle can sell for thousands. 

Bootleggers are dousing the wine market with fakes, refilling empty bottles from famous chateaus with inferior wine. The problem is so widespread that auction house Christie’s destroys the empties at their tasting events. China’s where the big-money wine boom has moved.

The ranking of the top five volume markets: The US leads at 318m cases, followed by Italy (266m), France (250m), Germany (224m) and China (156m). The world’s leading import markets are Germany, number one at 126.3m cases, followed by the UK at 114m cases. 

By contrast, the US (79.9m) and China (61m) ranked third and fourth continue to trend positively. While red wine dominates global consumption with a 55% share, it is forecast to fall below 54% by 2022. Over the same period consumption of white wine, and particular rosé, are set to rise.

How Did A Box Of Chocolates Get Associated With Valentine’s Day? With 9P's Of Marketing

Chocolate has a history as a love food and as an aphrodisiac. 

It’s about passion. By the way, one of my 9P's of Marketing. 

The upper class of the Mayans and Aztecs loved a drink of roasted cacao beans with vanilla, honey and chilies.

But what about the red box? 

In 1861, a “Product” and “Marketing” genius, Richard Cadbury of the British chocolate manufacturing company, Cadbury, added rosebuds and cupids to heart-shaped boxes of chocolates. It was suggested that the boxes, after the chocolates had been consumed, customers could use these beautiful boxes to save love letters.

Regarding Hollywood and movies, it was in 1933 with Jean Harlow’s performance in “Dinner at Eight,” She was dressed in satin and sequins, and lounges with a heart-shaped pillow, in bed, and suggestively nibbles the candies in a large box of chocolates.

I wanted to add it isn’t associated with "Forrest Gump" (played by Tom Hanks) in 1994 when he said “My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” 

Love?  Another Marketing story.

        • 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)

  • 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

A Major Movie And TV Star, Why Did Superman Fail His Physical During World War II? "P" As In The 9P's Of A Marketing Eye Test.

This could be an ad for an optometrist.

Wrong eye chart. 

He read the eye chart in the adjoining room with his x-ray vision.

like Marketing. I like advertising. I don't like scammers. I like copy and selling points. I like 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:

Follow me. Plenty of Marketing insights and trivia. https://londremarketing.blogspot.com/\

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.
