Enough Of The Retarded Diamond Ads
With Valentine's Day just behind us, I cannot help but think back to some of the incredibly cheezy diamond ads we have had to endure by the likes of Debeers.
Obviously, ya gotta give Debeers some credit for their consistent and effective marketing of diamonds to the general public.
Via their website, a diamond is forever they have effectively created and promoted an aura of magic around the notion of purchasing diamonds and diamond jewelry as the ultimate expression of love.
However, some of their ads (especially for Valentine's day) leave much to be desired.
It's almost as if they specifically hired a marketing guy who prefers tacky and tasteless ads...
Here are some of the recent "ads" from Debeers....
If this rubbish passes for an advertisement...heck...I'm in the wrong business!!
In my humble opinion, effective advertisements, for any product, are the ones that are both "catchy" and memorable, not blase and forgettable.
Here are a few examples...I hope you will agree!
In a Podiatrist's office:"Time wounds all heels."
On a Septic Tank Truck in Oregon :"Yesterday's Meals on Wheels"
At a Proctologist's door:"To expedite your visit please back in."
On a Plumber's truck: "Don't sleep with a drip. Call your plumber."
At a Tire Shop in Milwaukee :"Invite us to your next blowout."
At a Towing company :"We don't charge an arm and a leg. We want tows."
On an Electrician's truck:"Let us remove your shorts."
On a Maternity Room door: "Push. Push. Push."
At an Optometrist's Office"If you don't see what you're looking for,
you've come to the right place."
On a Fence:"Salesmen welcome! Dog food is expensive."
At a Car Dealership:"The best way to get back on your feet - - -
miss a car payment."
Outside a Muffler Shop:"No appointment necessary. We hear you coming."
In a Veterinarian's waiting room:
"Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!"
At the Electric Company:"We would be de-lighted if you send in your payment.
However, if you don't, you will be. "
In a Restaurant window:"Don't stand there and be hungry, Come on in and get fed up
In the front yard of a Funeral Home:"Drive carefully. We'll wait."
At a Propane Filling Station,"Thank heaven for little grills"
And don't forget the sign at a Chicago Radiator Shop:"Best place in town to take a leak."
