Is Marketing confined to long list of cooked up stories?

    It is beyond understanding and boring to read chain of stories narrated by users of products, mostly insurance, consumer durables,health nutrients by marketing and manufacturing organizations inducing to buy their products and services.

    It must have been a tried strategy.

    But same style,same narration ,focussing on individual`s motivation varying with product and focusing on financial freedom somehow sounds repetitive and unbelievable.
    I must be receiving at least 200 mails every day oferring, not many products but concept of financial freedom at a cost.

    I must have remitted 40 odd dollars,and got a mail saying that I can travel by air in USA FREE UPTO COST OF 1600usdollars.And the offer is valid for a week`s time. I contacted friend of mine in USA AND NARRATED MY SUCCESS STORY.He laughed saying-Yes you will have to spend 2000 dollars for up and down to USA in addition to cost of organising VISA.I was really not very happy to read any such offer thereafter,though most are open for all countries worldwide.They are marketing,seeking subscription offerring gifts,incentives- knowing well that-these offers have no sense for people outside USA.
