Geico

I think that the Geico Gecko and the "money you could be saving with Geico" should be in a commercial together someday. I think that it will happen eventually and I think it wold be kind of cool. Their commercials would sort of be like the jack in the box commercials in the sense that it could turn into a story line. I love the Geico Gecko I think he is pretty cute. I Don't know much about car insurance due to the fact that my parents still pay for mine, (we used to have Geico but I got into one to many mishaps when I first started driving so we had to switch) but I do think the commercials sell.

Black Berry

Black Berry has a new product and that is their new pearl flip phone by t-mobile. When I saw the commercial for it I laughed, a lot. I started thinking about it though and the commercial kind of acted as a double edged sword on their productions sales in my opinion. It is a funny commercial that makes sense and captures attention sure, but as they promote this new phone they say two things that refute each other. One is "hey our original phones do this sometimes and it can be annoying" but at the same time they are saying "hey we have heard and taken into consideration your complaints so we made a new phone". I think it is pretty impressive the way they did this.

Hotels

Some businesses have even been taking advantage of hotels to market themselves. I thought it was really clever. I stayed at a Ramada Inn this past weekend and my room key had Pizza Huts number on it for delivery and a picture of some pizza. Well it definitely worked because I ordered some pizza. I think that coming up with not just the design and ad design itself is important but where it is put. Where are people going to see it? How many people will see it if you put it in this particular spot?
