If you have a great product that you want to sell to people you need to communicate to them to show them what they could have in their lives.

According to a story I heard about film director Cecil B. DeMille, he spared no expense to part the Red Sea for his epic production of The Ten Commandments. Actors, engineers, horses, and assorted other animals were everywhere. The dust, heat, and noise were ferocious. Finally, everyone was ready to go and DeMille called out, "Roll the cameras" and "Action." After he finished shooting the scene, DeMille called to a cameraman on a high cliff to check on how that part of the filmin... more...
