Using porn in mainstream marketing

[Bishop]

Rcourt.. I'm a porn marketer so when I use the term mainstream I am refering to any product that is not porn.

You said.. and..

Your example of Victoria's Secret is a good one.. they use sex to make their product more interesting. This company turned up the volume and connected themselves directly with porn.

This tells me just how accepted porn is becoming in the eyes of the consumer. If real porn is seen as an acceptable marketing tool for a non-porn product then that is definately a change in consumer tolerance.

We sell the real thing. A 2 minute click of a porn flick selling clothes doesn't hurt my business. I expect them to leave that site and go looking for one of ours.

So the stradegy here is: Give 'em some nudies showing clothes market, and hope they'll get turned on and end up at an adult site purchasing more porn?

Thats wacky dude. but then again, thats probably why your where your at now.

See Jace's post on short attention span hahah

The first goal of successful advertising is to get the viewers attention.
Second is to get them to remember your name.
Ideally you want to entice them to buy but not all purchases are impulse like internet porn.

You missed my point.. They are marketing clothes. I am marketing porn. If they use porn to sell clothes then that tells me porn is becoming more accepted. I don't see this from my perspective because I spend my days marketing porn. I have to look at the world through their eyes to give what I do perspective.

Them using porn as a tool has nothing to do with me directly. As a porn marketer I don't have any problem with them doing that because it doesn't hurt my business. If anything they help my business.

I'm in the forest.. I can't see the forest for the trees.
