Marketing Jargon – 101
It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted, so I thought it might be time to come back with a fun blog. I mean, what really do we all have better to do then to take some time out and learn new things!
Initially I was going to try and do this in regards to dating, but it seems like others have already beat me to the punch. Check it out Understanding Marketing Jokes Here.
That said, their list is a bit lacking on terms, and not something I think my brand should be attached to!
So I’ve decided to clean it up, tweak it, and add a few more terms to keep you entertained.
