4P marketing mix will work well if you include 5th P (people) and 6th P (portfolio).
Good sales people will solve fend shui problems instead of condemning. How many houses faces a junction in a housing project? Maybe 2 or 3? Most projects give special price for these unfavorable units and higher price for house no. 8.

How do you solve sloping ceilings? Sloping ceilings in halls is bad only if it is low lying. If it is high, then it is okie. But what about bedrooms? If you can't build a cabinet over it, just install a light trough on the other side to ensure balanced level with the slope.
Even if you want to sleep in it without doing anything, also can. Just put the head of the bed at the higher side of the ceiling. Fend shui said it is bad to sleep with headboard under suppressed ceiling but never say anything with feet under it. You can also paint with contrasting colors to separate the slope and wall.

What about toilets? People say toilets cannot face main door. Bad fend shui. Well, in the olden days in China, all toilets are outside the city and that's why you find people carrying shits at night out of the city. And what do you get? Ching dynasty collapsed and Hong Kong given to British for 100 years. Actually toilets is not recommended to face main door as you do not want smell and sights when you come out of toilets when you have guests at home. Just use a beautiful free standing screen partition. If you can afford it, put up a brick wall.

I am no expert but I do know a little bit supertitions. Happy reading.

If ever I faced the situations you mentioned, I will adopt some of the solutions not because of Feng Shui, but because it makes sense (reason). I can also accept that other people may/may not adopt similar solutions, for different reasons, beliefs (not necessarily superstitions).

But when one repeatedly resurrects old points trying to disguise as helpful tips for new comers when the ill intent is blatantly clear, I feel that a little bit of countering is needed. If nothing else, it serves as "gentle reminders" as one puts it of the real intent of these posts.

Precisely after reading some of the posts way back, there's a need to counter some of these opinions. As mentioned, it is a healthy discussions. One offer one's views and others too can offer their views especially when it is an abstract subject. I have 2 houses and both of them have toilets facing the main entrance. With a little bit of innovation and renovation, it turned up to be my home over the 15 years which blissfully brought up my family.

There are a few things I avoid for practical reasons. Curved walls which is very difficult to make cabinets or curtains. Stagnant slow flowing water or drains which emit foul smell. This would cause breathing problems over long term exposure.
Houses at river bends due to possible soil erosion. Rotten decaying trees in front of houses or buried in reclaimed land due to possible termite problems.

I do hope my little contributions would be helpful to buyers here.

Well, 4Ps and feng shui is a well connected. In some studies, we call it marketing across cultures.... in some books, it is linked with globalization marketing. In the global business environment, both the marketing mix and CRM tactics must confirm to the needs and culture of regional consumers.

I would love to have these books to my collection.
What are the book titles and who is the publisher? It would be interesting to read more about marketing across cultures / globalization marketing. Which country or culture are you targeting? I would love to know how the super rich Arabs reacts with feng shui or Germans.

What is CRM tactics by the way. Can you teach me? Sharing is the best way to enhance knowledge.

I am not trying to prove you wrong. I just find it hard to understand that feng shui is written by Europeans rather than Chinese geomacers.
Maybe they had progressed so far that we Chinese has to learn from them. There goes our 3000 years of cilvilisation...
As for marketing,even those having Masters Degree in Marketing has to do more reading then you. ...You are really very very learned...

International Marketing, 6e clearly demonstrates the links between the different stages of international marketing, connecting analysis with planning, planning with strategy and strategy with implementation.

Key concepts are brought to life with comprehensively updated statistics, recent illustrations, and a variety of real-world examples and case studies.

New to this edition

Updated Structure!

After the introductory chapter, which explores what international marketing is, the book is now divided into three parts, each of which has an introduction.
NEW! Two separate chapters on technology and contemporary variables in international marketing and one on international marketing in the decade ahead.
Greater Integration!

Instead of material also being in appendices on the website for the book, the content of these appendices is now incorporated into the text of the chapters:
- ‘Incorporating international trade relations into international marketing’ in Chapter 3;
- ‘Coping with countertrade’ in Chapter 8;
- ‘Winning international projects’ in Chapter 17
- and ‘Marketing at the Bottom of the Pyramid’ in Chapter 18.
Coverage of eMarketing has now been integrated into the text of each chapter rather than being treated separately.
Lots More Cases and Examples!
Longer case studies are now included for each chapter.
A guide to ‘How to analyse a case study’ can be found in the Appendix of the text.
56 additional cases are also available on the accompanying website to supplement the text.
More examples of doing business in countries outside Asia have been included to better reflect the changing market conditions faced by Australian and New Zealand firms in the international domain due to the enlargement of the European Union and the signing of an increased number of free trade agreements by Australia and New Zealand.
