Or "this thing doesn't have a price on it so it's free, right? Haha I am joking unless this somehow results in free cheese in which case I am not" I would have always preferred if they just shut the hell up instead.

Speaking of dumb marketing moves, didn't a kid find a way to actually get the 15 million Pepsi points or whatever the commercial said, and then sue Pepsi because they obviously had no intention of awarding someone a fighter jet?

Yeah, and then Pepsi won because the judge said there's no way a reasonable person could expect to get a military grade jet for $700,000 worth of Pepsi bottle caps.

Looks like it's the guy after a jet being a shithead - The guy didn't collect many points, there was just some smallprint that said once you had 15 points you could make up the rest in cast at 10c a point. So he sent a $700,000 cheque rather than the full number of points. On the other hand, a flat-out refusal is just about the worst thing Pepsi could have done. They should have offered something like a tour of a fighter jet and a chance to fly in one, or the like, and then put out a new ad joking that the jet was sold out. For an example of that done right, look to Burma Shave. First of all, when their ads read "Free Offer! Free Offer! Rip A Fender Off Your Car Mail It In For A Half-Pound Jar Burma-Shave" Plenty of people did either post, or turn up at the factory with, fenders. The requests here honoured, and a good time was had by all. Burma Shave figured any lost sales from the product were made up for in goodwill. Later on, they had another joke advert that someone tried to take seriously. "Free — Free A Trip To Mars For 900 Empty Jars Burma-Shave" and then, to quote snopes... Snopes.com posted:Mr. French wired Burma-Shave he was accepting its offer — where should the jars be shipped? In response, the company wired back: In the end, with help from his town donating their empty jars, mr French did indeed gather 900 empty jars. Burma Shave sent him and his wife to Moers (Pronounced Mars) in Germany, as well as handing out plenty of free pruducts,m and again turned the whole thing into a good time.

Obviously I'm not going to go home and drink all of that right now, but your friendly small-talk just turned into "Hey, that seems like too much alcohol for one person to buy all at once!" something is wrong with your brain

scuzzy pumper posted:That's incredible.  This is one of the less-weird ones, but still a good example. Here's an article that talks a bit about Raytheon's subway ad campaigns: http://www.boston.com/news/local/bl...bCymK/blog.html quote:The Capitol South station is literally covered wall to wall with Raytheon’s tailor-made billboards and banners. There are ads for the Patriot missile, the so-called JLENS surveillance blimp, the Standard missile, satellite communications, and another advocating the company’s cyber warfare solutions: “defeat persistence with resilience.”

The letter itself probably belongs in the "Cute, Adorable Pictures Thread". It has that really special sort of typing only drunks and children between 3 and 7 years old can produce. For a good long while afterwards people in my work would say "We're popping out to Sainssssssbbbbbburyyys to get milk and bread"

Henchman of Santa posted:That's some Punch Drunk Love poo poo. That was based on a true story. A guy realized that each pudding cup had the bar codes you needed and bought hundreds of cases in bulk so he can fly dirt cheap for the rest of his life. There was a store that was offering some expensive thing for "100 bananas" (bananas bring old timey slang for dollars) They had tons of people brining in cases of bananas and decided to honor the exchange.

Gabriel Pope posted:I believe at one point S/M/L/XL was standard, but that needlessly complicated the menu and added logistical overhead. I think they dropped "small" because their target audience does indeed believe bigger = better, plus as mentioned if you give people 3 options they tend to be drawn to the middle one. So by making large the "default" option they get to sell more fries and soda, and by sticking with M/L/XL instead of just re-naming the larger sizes S/M/L they maintain continuity in their menu (so that people don't go "hey why is the medium suddenly $0.30 more?!") Its definitely not a money thing at McDonalds because all their soda sizes are one price.

muscles like this? posted:Its definitely not a money thing at McDonalds because all their soda sizes are one price. This is actually pushed by the soda companies. They actually have meetings and discussions about how to increase their 'share of stomach' because they know that if you're used to getting huge amounts of coke with your meal, you'll buy huge amounts of coke to drink at home. They're basically training you to want/need massive sodas with each meal.

It's less "dumb moves in marketing" more "dumb fucks thinking they can run a company on high fives and promises" without ever getting anything down on paper or getting actual grownups involved (not that these were kids, just acting like it). Both sides come off as a bit unprofessional but I'd say Gaiman ends up about 90% in the right, especially as it's the company (ie image and McFarlane) that has the obligation to act like a real company and not gently caress over their freelancers.

Huh, I thought that was a newer development but a quick search shows they were experimenting with it 5 years ago. I'm not exactly sure when they started moving back towards S/M/L so you could be right.

People inside can order a small and refill it as many times as they like, so why should I, the drive-thru proletariat, be forced to pay more money to guzzle down the same amount of sugar water? Also, McDonald's Coke seems to taste better than any other (American) Coke and I'm not sure why.

At least if you admit it, you can claim you're listening to the consumer. This way, both the people who think you were wrong and the people who think you were right are annoyed: the former hates your disingenuous attitude, and the latter still knows you caved. I can understand the denial if there's an issue of liability somewhere, but I don't see why that'd be the case here.
