Alternative Fáilte Ireland campaigns

cdgalwegian · 07-08-2019 8:23pm #1

Let's give Fáilte Ireland a hand with slogans and taglines for ad campaigns that will draw tourists in like magnets so we can amuse them with our rip-off prices.
Our weather is an easy one to start with, considering in the summer the continent has heatwaves and we have breaks between the showers, so first up:

"Escape from the sun".

I think an ad in the form of a chat show would be good. Give bibi baskin the gig. Have a swarm of Randy bachelors in the audience jeering and frothing at the mouth. Shoot the ad in a grainy 35mm style. Towards the end of the ad, zoom out and reveal that the studio is in the middle of jolly rogers in sligo. In the ball pool, balls everywhere and randy bachelors not sure what to do. Finish with the slogan "Ireland: where we can all be up to our balls with bibi baskin"

If you are fed up with going to Scotland or France , visit Ireland to rekindle your interest in these countries.

cdgalwegian · 08-08-2019 3:24pm

Bored of BBQs?
Supermodels two-a-penny?
Haute cuisine passé?

Visit Ireland, and sample it's authentic cooking...coddle, and Taytos.

Interested in the interface between group psychology and Economics? Want to see a Third World country in Europe pretending to be a First World country? Visit Ireland, and see for yerself how such a poorly serviced country with hugely inflated prices, as well as depressive weather, still manages to have the world famous 'craic'.

(Warning: You will pressurized into drinking a lot of very expensive alcohol and engaging in polite conversation with strangers)

If our rip off prices don't make you cry then you have too much money.

Visit Belfast. Famous for building an unsinkable ship that sank. Then built a holiday attraction in celebration.

I think that chicken is well and truly coming home to roost. It's unserviceable at 200bn and rising. Its working out at E42,000 per person

Absolutly sickening to see during the week that the HSE are planning cost cuts to home help for the elderly and disabled and cuts to other services.

Time to pause for a minute and think, what type of country are we becoming. I guess it's all good if we are having the craic though. People don't want to hear about it until cuts affect them directly. Next recession will be terrifiying.

Maybe we can sell that as a tourist activity. "Come to Ireland and pick up our litter."

Picked a full black bag of cans off the beach last week.

Ireland - walk amongst an ancient plastic riddled landscape. Come see the high skanger kings holding court at the foothills of ancients towns. Marvel at the dilapidated infrastructure and forget it all existed afterwards in a haze of overpriced slosh...
