Hey Guys! It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. My sinscerest apologies but I’ve been quite busy! I came across this post on 9gag titled “Creative Ambient Ads!” and they’re actually really good. Get motivated and inspired!
Buzzfeed had a great post called “31 Mind-Blowing Examples of Brilliant Packaging Design.” I believe some of them are ‘concepts’ more than reality, but all the idea’s are actually pretty cool. I thought they could help inspire you with some ideas for your business. Sometimes the most creative ideas can be the simplest! I’ve put some of my favorites below, but be sure to check out all of them!
For a limited time Zappos.com has a item for sale on their website. It’s called the “Sh*t Product” and it’s available to you for the low, low price of $100,000!
This one’s a kinda of weird “Marketing Gold” but I thought it was interesting non-the-less. I was browsing through BuzzFeed when an article came up called “One Of The Biggest Con Jobs In Advertising History, Part 2” It involves advertisements for Sugar in the 60’s and 70’s, some of which are just amazing that people believed. I’ve included some of my ‘favorite‘ ads below, but be sure to check out Buzzfeed for all 12 of them:
This is a case of social media going right! As Adweek puts it, “Brands often freeze up when they’re criticized on Facebook.” I even talked (or at least reposted) about “The Unhappy Customer” as one of the 7-types of social media users (for business), and how “45% of consumers are more likely to share negative experiences on social media.”
We posted K-Mart’s “Ship My Pants“ a while ago. Looks like they’re still going strong. Here’s K-Mart’s new commercial titled “Big Gas Savings”
I’m working on another ‘real‘ article, but I just had to share this commercial. It comes from Kmart and it is titled “Ship My Pants.” It’s a great example of getting your attention and no part of this commercial seems overly redundant. I think it’s cast perfectly, written perfectly and there’s two versions included in the video. I think I may like it better than the FedEx Heavy Metal commercial. Check out the video below and laugh a little…it’s Monday. A huge thanks to Pallante Photography for shooting this commercial my way.
