accounting for 21.6% of all ad dollars spent
3. Ask students: Why is direct-mail so popular as a
form of advertising? (Answers may vary but stu-
dents should understand that the cost of direct-mail
and the ability to target specific demographic
groups make direct-mail a popular choice.)
4. Once students have discussed the benefits of direct-
mail ask them about the drawbacks of this form of
advertising. (The main drawback to this form of
advertising is that people will look at each mailer
as just more junk and throw it in the trash can.)

MURPHY’S LAWS OF MARKETING
The study of marketing doesn’t always have to be serious and academic. When you need some ir-
reverence, a good source is Arthur Bloch’s book, Murphy’s Laws, first published in 1978. To celebrate
the 25th anniversary of its publication, Arthur Block reissued it as Murphy’s Law: The 25th Anniversary
Edition. Following are a few of Murphy’s laws of marketing.
Robbin’s Rules of Marketing
1. Your share of the market is lower than you think.
2. The combined market position goals of all competitors always totals at least 150%.
3. The existence of a market does not ensure the existence of a customer.
4. Beware of alleged needs that have no real market.
5. Low price and long shipment will win over high price and short shipment.
6. If the customer buys lunch, you’ve lost the order.
Things That Can Be Counted on in a Crisis
MARKETING says yes.
FINANCE says no.
LEGAL has to review it.
PERSONNEL is concerned.
PLANNING is frantic.
ENGINEERING is above it all.
MANUFACTURING wants more floor space.
TOP MANAGEMENT wants someone responsible.
