Why online porn is full of shit marketing.
Professional marketing requires people who understand the product. Thinking quality porn is Penthouse/Playboy porn is a sign of ignorance of the product and it's functions.
Professional marketing requires people who understand the consumer. Thinking he's a fool for buying porn isn't understanding him.
Thinking no one will buy porn because so much of it is free. Then multiplying the amount of free content a 10,000s of times. Is about the most stupid marketing strategy ever.
Porn never was and never should be hard to sell. Open a shop, fill it with porn, paint the windows black, put up a sign saying "Porn Shop" and take the money.
A product that is easy to sell, shouldn't be given away for free in quantities that make buying it hard to sell.
Finding useless excuses for people not buying
isn't marketing. Finding ways to sell to more of the same people not buying
is marketing.
Having a show and excluding the consumers is dumb. Consumers need to be sold to and listened to. Meeting them in the flash is the best way to do it. Offline porn knew that.
Which is why after 12 plus years of you guys marketing porn, selling it has never been harder. The job of marketing people is to make selling it easier.
Still with an industry where an idiot thinks other idiots are going to be convinced we were going to give over our studio and 2 of our staff to shoot 25-30 "Quick and dirty, nothing nice" sets not expensive. I'm sure many will be convinced. Wouldn't do that with one girl, let alone a lot of them.
But this idiot did spend the day with me to be polite and he was curious.
What exactly do you do now for a living?
