The Fundamental Rules of Advertising

The Fundamental Rules of Advertising

Here is our test subject:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-PEUGEOT-2...d=p3286.c0.m14

Now let us begin...

The first rule of advertising is don't get your drunken mate to pose with your car when you decide to use said pictures to advertise your car. Sadly a rule that the fellow selling this gorgeous motor forgot all about.

The second rule of advertising is don't exaggerate too much. Now then, as much as I would like to believe this chap, I'm almost certain that the £13,000 he claims was spent on this beauty was actually spent on Stella instead. And perhaps some hot snacks, such as Pot Noodles or Cup 'a' Soups?

The third and final rule is don't advertise what you don't actually have. Now, I am sure that the new 306 headlights would indeed have looked 'Evil' as he says, but when the car doesn't come with any headlights at all, let alone 'Evil' ones (I shall assume evil means good!) it is probably best to just gloss over the entire issue altogether, not advertise the fact that the car is about as legal as Gary Glitter outside a playground.

Well, here endeth today's lesson. Let's hope we all learn from this eh?

Love and light, God bless.

Darren

Re: The Fundamental Rules of Advertising

What a tit and that car is a shed not to mention a money pit. He carn't even spell-

"filler cap all profeshonly welded , all windows have been profesionly tinted including rear"

"the car dose start and drive very sweet engine yu will find"

"it is not advertized else where and will sell for the highest bid with no reserve " - no kidding IF you get a bid take the money and run for the hills laughing.

Rule Number 4: Learn to spell when advertising, or failing that get a friend to make the advert for you.
