Title: Sex sells
Post by: AquaMagic on May 04, 2007, 03:07:32 pm
But of a wierd one for you, youve all heard the saying "Sex Sells" so how could we use "sex" to sell our service,......dont laugh im serious, Nike, Rebook, M & S, Beever Brookes, nearly everyone uses it my showing attractive models wearing thier products, giving the subconcious message that by using their products you will somehow become like the model.  So if iwe could find a way to adapt our marketting in this fashion surely it could be good.  There are the obvious ones like getting like getting some hunky model to wear your uniform then put the photo on the flyers (little bit dishonest), becuase most of our customer are women i think you'd have to go down that route, so heres the question, what other ways could we use sex to sell.

p.s No daft comments about "payment in kind" etc  ;D

What about a big bloke, big muscles, only wearing shorts cleaning a carpet?? Put it on your flyer, and the bored housewives will phone in their hundreds to book you in thinking that thats who they`re gonna get   ;D  ;D

picture on the van
It for a seperate compay idea is a low cost add on to existing business, i.e we might be expensive but our sister company will hire you the machine for less, and it's better than the hire machines from rug doctor or hss.

ian strangley enough it has provoked more comments of (wow, go for it)  from  ladies than men ( i think sometimes men are just to scarded to say anything and just say what they think is the most PC answer)

only by trying you find out!

I disagree Ian, there are more women than men in the UK so its more than 50% and also id say 80% of my customers are women so its not 50% of my target audience if you think about it, anyway just an idea, never expected the Mr Wainwright piccy to be dragged out agan i bet he's well chuffed  :)

this isn`t setting a good example to newbies. the health and  safety aspects are horrendous. having a hot hose flapping about is just asking for trouble. give me freddie mercury in suspenders any-day. far more safety conscious!!!

Oh yeah, a nice picture of a hunky guy on the side of the van - well that would be intresting to see how that works - maybe you would suddenly get more calls from guys for carpet cleaning ( albeit a bit more effeminate that norm)?
cant guarantee that hunky guy picture would only be attracting the ladies eyes!

Reminds me of a fire job we done for 2 gays. We replaced the loft insulation with the pink fibre glass which had just come out. We told them we had it specially made for them in pink.

A mate of mine, (who logs on here), tried to get a Prince trust grant to set up. One of the conditions was that he would not do naked cleaning. It was all the rage in America, at the time. He never went naked or got the grant. You never can win
