So when the mugger says: "Your money or your life!" that's marketing? I mean, he's giving a set of instructions for creating an offering that has value for his, well, customer... What's wrong with the traditional definition: Stuff you say to get people to buy (into) things.

It also expands the previous scope of the term to incorporate the concept that one can market something to "do good."'
