		<description>Marketing means &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; many things to different people, and the conflicting definitions make it a less than useful term. 

Some people think of marketing as going to the grocery store, or hauling a load of wheat to the elevator - simple buying or selling. 

Kelly defines is as figuring out how to sell what you&#039;ve got, which is another popular definition, and &lt;i&gt;helping the customer buy&lt;/i&gt; instead of shoving something down their throats is more profitable in the long run. 

The definition &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; prefer, though is figuring out what customers want (even if they don&#039;t know it yet) and changing your products and services to match. Combine that definition of marketing with Kelly&#039;s definition of marketing, and you could end up with a really profitable business.

And I hope I win.


&lt;em&gt;Harl: I just have to say that this might be one of the most insightful giveaway entries to date -- I love your take on marketing and what it means for the customers, for the business, for people personally. Really appreciate your input, though sorry to say it doesn&#039;t have an effect the outcome ;)  - Susan</description>
