As an unrepentant (though slightly overweight) carnivore, I find all this salad stuff, a bit of a trendy fad.
Yeah, yeah I know the statistics and I can see the obesity rampaging through our society but rabbit food just doesn’t do anything for my taste buds…
Anyway, this great new salad packaging concept doesn’t only look hot, it’s apparently driving their sales sky high.
And, the Troglodytes like me, can only live in hope that the purveyors of real food will also think it’s a pretty good looking product.
And to the green grudges (me included) we can pray, meditate or just plain hope that it’s made of some of that cellulose biodegradable stuff that allows our consciences a little respite.
How many times have tasted a great wine and fully intended to order it again some time in the future, but forgotten it’s name?
Well these very clever marketers have done something about it, and the result is brilliant.
This is exactly the sort of concept that is essential to drive “word of mouth” Advertising.
That is to say, every business owner should constantly be looking for ways to make it easy for a customer to re-order and recommend their product or service to their friends and family members. It is THE most effective and low cost method to increase sales.
This great packaging idea (apparently from Germany) will suit any cafe that services the office market.
It makes it very easy for someone to carry several cups of God’s own nectar for their friends and co workers and is a great way to add value to multiple sales at very low cost.
Don’t ask me why, I don’t get it either. Sure, I’m sure it gets more than its fair share off free publicity, but by the look of the pics on the Telegraph site, it all looks very tacky and a whole lot amateurish.
Anyway, here a link to the full details , quite frankly I’m already over it, give me naked sexism (see previous post) any day.
Of course it is… what else would you expect at the entrance of a Las Vegas showgirl revue… the Madonna and child?
And of course, thousands of depraved men and women have their photo taken in front of it each day to show their friends and families all around the world exactly how disgusting (ly successful) it is.
The shiny bottoms (yes I did take the time to carefully inspect every detail) are a testament to the irresistible urge many have, to extend their lascivious lust to a tactile encounter.
I’m not sure if this is a corporate response to rising petrol prices or just a very clever and unique new way to promote and distribute Gods own nectar.
But it sure does look good, however, I don’t think it is going to catch on in San Francisco.
When your customer opens their mail to find a a bright colorful ball with an appropriate (or if you are a little daring, a lightheartedly inappropriate) pun printed on it thanking them for their custom and inviting them back soon.
At least it’s going to be remembered long after an expensive color brochure packed full of brag and boast highly polished promo speak.
Leslie Allison-Seei, Partner of Robust Promotions fame sent me this idea that she has been working on with a new business appropriately named Send A Ball where you can find all the details on this clever alternative to boring brochures and flowers.
Salvation for mankind is finally here. Now you can carry your cutlery in your wallet, and who hasn’t spent many a quiet moment dreaming that some day some kind soul would would aim their billions of dollars worth of manufacturing machinery at this major word problem.
Since my last post on clever cutlery I was sent this…
Wow, a whole dinner set, OK it will upset everyone with a dab of green flowing in their bloodstream, so I hope they have, or can, come up with a biodegradable version.
C’mon, surely if we can put people on the moon and place guided missiles with razor like accuracy, directly into the bedrooms of potential “Evil Doers”, surely we can develop biodegradable fun stuff like this.
I know it’s not exactly feeding the starving millions or equitably sharing the resources of the planet, but it does look pretty cool, doesn’t it?
