"Marketing Is Life"

I am sure by looking at the title you would be thinking life has lot of meanings & we relate life to lot of things but how can marketing be equal to life??

At every point in our lives we need to market ourselves. When we are born we market ourselves by crying that we have arrived into the market (world). Then when we start growing up we always market ourselves to our parents by crying or doing anything possible so that they get convinced & get us nice toys to play with. Then when we start going to school we start marketing ourselves to get good friends by wearing good dresses, getting good things to eat, by joking, sharing things etc. We start marketing ourselves to our teachers by getting good marks or participating in every event & doing lot of other things which catches the eyes of our teachers. Then when we start going to college we still do the same things to market ourselves to our friends, teachers etc. because we always try to prove that you are the best among the rest.

It doesn't stop there we also start marketing ourselves so that we get a nice partner [boyfriend / girlfriend]. Then when our education gets over we know now we need to grow big in lives then we start marketing ourselves to get jobs or start business & still try to prove that we are the best from the rest. We keep marketing in ourselves to our boss or superior that we are the best so that we get promotions & also we keep marketing ourselves in business that we get good clients. Then we again market or our parents market us so that we get a nice life partner to settle in life.

The marketing process doesn't end there we still keep marketing ourselves so that our future generation can stay happy by working hard. Then once we grow old we still keep marketing that our kids should take care of us really well by helping them in every small work possible.

I know this blog might sound funny but if we observe in every step of our lives we keep marketing because there is hyper competition & if we don't do it someone else will go forward & we might not get the opportunity to get the things what we need.

So if you think that marketing is very important for the big business houses & not so important for small business so let me tell you the big business houses were small someday they took the opportunity from the time they were infant thats why they have made it big.

Bottom line marketing is required in every walk of life. As we say "life is a war it takes life time to win it" in the same way "Marketing takes a day to learn. Unfortunately it takes a lifetime to master it"
