In the 1920s, women didn’t smoke. So here’s this big population which was not buying cigarettes, so he paid young models to march down New York City’s Fifth Avenue holding cigarettes.

But it was considered an enormous success."''

->Males are predictable creatures. That makes it easy to craft a marketing message that appeals to them. All successful advertising campaigns that target men include one of these two messages:

-->1. This product will help you get dates with bikini models.\\
\\
2. This product will save you time and money, which you need if you want to date bikini models.

->Compared to simpleminded, brutish men, women are much more intricate and complex. Your advertising message must appeal to women's greater range of intellectual interests and aesthetic preferences. Specifically, your message has to say this:

-->1. If you use this product you'll be a bikini model.''
