If you think like a marketer then you need to ‘think outside the box’. That means that the whole world is part of your tactics, it means that demeaning people can be a tactic too.  The main reason is that this tactic, though disliked by some, is also an effective way of gaining attention too. You gain attention and you also gain ‘traffic’, you also gain other people’s interest which means your word spreads, it amuses, it evokes response, it builds on itself. It’s unusual therefore it attracts.  All equates to traffic and no doubt sales and success.

Think outside the box and you’ll probably do a lot better (at marketing) than trying to be like everybody else.  If you’ve tried it and it doesn’t seem to work, then other ways need to be tried. Some of them may even seem a bit disagreeable, but if you’re prepared to ‘wear’ that, then perhaps you’ll make more money.
