Coco-Nuts!

October 30th, 2008

We all know that these days more and more people are willing to earn a buck by dressing up in some big flashy costume and handing out free stuff for some company. And the companies are equally willing to do these types of promotions, because they are relatively cheap and usually quite effective.

I’ve never seen this likes of this one, though. Meet Coconut Man, whose head has been split in two and doesn’t appear to have any reasonable way of seeing out of his costume. I guess he has assistants handing out the a.o. candy bars, but I still would think they might lose some customers when their blind costumed representative stumbles into a crowd.

I did think it was a creative tactic to have a bed nearby. Not only does this allow Mr. Coconut to go from lying-down-and-innocuous to up-and-in-your-face to attract crowds, but I could also see him striking some suggestive poses. Coconut candy bars are just so hot right now, you know?

Another Beer Promo: Guinness Coaster

August 14th, 2008

Here is another really cool beer promo. What better way to promote a beer then with a typical item that is used at bars and restaurants all the time. This promotional coaster was used in a unique way, by having the image written backwards and then incorporating the reflection from a glass. This mirror image creates a really interesting promo.
