Marketing Straight to the Heart by Barry Feig

Unlike other marketing books, Marketing Straight to the Heart offers a refreshing alternative to by-the-number solutions. Feig explains that pushing your customers' emotional hot buttons is the most powerful selling tool of all. He shows you how to define those hot buttons and address them in every stage of product development and marketing.


Backed by dozens of examples from success stories like Thera-Flu and Toilet Duck to anonymous failures that sit in cold, dark warehouses, he illustrates the power of creative problem solving. Feig not only teaches the overall concepts behind "share of heart" marketing, but the importance of researching and honing the correct emotional impact for your new or established product.


From the controversy behind blue M&Ms, to the late-night success of home shopping networks, Barry Feig discusses emotional marketing in a humorous style - free of jargon. Smart, clear, and very effective, the advice in this book will be cherished by anyone involved in the marketing process, from the veteran CEO to the first-time marketing assistant. Ultimately, Marketing Straight to the Heart proves that no company, no matter how seemingly invincible, can ignore the reality of their customers' emotions. Remember New Coke?

The Language of Comic Narratives Humor Construction in Short Stories by Isabel Ermida- Humor Research 9

The book offers a comprehensive account of how humor works in short stories, by presenting a model of narrative comedy that is pragmatically as well as semantically, grammatically and stylistically informed. It is the first study to combine a sequential analysis of the comic short story with a hierarchical one, merging together horizontal and vertical narratological perspectives in a systematic way.


The book covers the main areas of linguistic analysis and is deliberately interdisciplinary, using input from philosophy, sociology and psychology so as to touch upon the nature, motivations and functions of humor as a cognitive phenomenon in a social context. Crucially, The Language of Comic Narratives combines a scholarly approach with a careful explanation of key terms and concepts, making it accessible to researchers and students, as well as non-specialists. Moreover, it reviews a broad range of historical critical data by examining the source texts, and it provides many humorous examples, from jokes to extracts from comic narratives.


Thus, it seeks to anchor theory in specific texts, and also to show that many linguistic mechanisms of humor are common to jokes and longer, literary comic narratives. The book tests the model of humorous narratives on a set of comic short stories by British and American writers, ranging from Evelyn Waugh and Dorothy Parker, through Graham Greene and Corey Ford, to David Lodge and Woody Allen. The validity of the model is confirmed through a subsequent discussion of apparent counter-examples.
