    All marketing surveys usually offer something in return for taking the time to answer their questions?

    Where's my alarm clock/pen/vouchers? :(

    I have loads of intriguing, humerous and mind boggling marketing ploys and stories from around the world, relayed to me first hand from various experts in the marketing sphere.

    But I only pass them on for hard cash.

    A hot bird with large breasts asked me if I wanted to support a charity. I said no thanks. I believe she was a chugger.

    This story always makes me laugh..
    HOOVER FIRED three top executives yesterday after admitting that its ill-fated and controversial free flights offer will lose it at least pounds 20m.

    The company's US owners meanwhile sent a task force into Hoover's South Wales headquarters with orders to clear up the wreckage from the sales promotion that succeeded beyond its wildest dreams.

    Under the offer anyone buying a Hoover product costing more than pounds 100 was eligible for two free return air tickets to the US or Europe. Customers purchasing the cheapest qualifying product, a pounds 119 vacuum cleaner, could receive two tickets to New York, costing Hoover more than pounds 500.

    Try the Magic yoghurt challenge for three weeks, and if you don't lose mountains of weight and feel wonderful then stop buying it, AT NO EXTRA COST


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,590 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    The Mona yoghurt ads yonks ago was a classic or anything involving Michael O' Leary is usually ridiculous.

    No offense, but I'm not into that sort of patriotism

    Saw an ad in Canada for a thing called the Fries Burger. Their idea of a great new innovation is to serve you a burger with the fries inside the burger bun which strikes me as utterly pointless as nearly everyone who orders a burger also orders fries on the side. But no look aren't we clever the fries are actually inside the bun hence the Fries Burger. People actually get paid good money to come up with this sort of thing.
