April Fool’s Marketing Tactics

Posted on April 1, 2010 by Anne

Back from my vacation here, right in time for April Fool’s Day jokes. I liked this one that landed in my inbox today. I thought it engaged a good topic that bothers many people, was nicely carried out and it has potential direct profit for the company.

    That was such a believable trick. Either that or I’m just too gullible.

      I know! I clicked through though and the first thing they tell you is that this is a joke… but you’re still welcome to purchase the shirts and try it on your friends.

    Hi Ann
    Nice one.
    Even if you don’t believe it, it shows that they have a sense of humour and that has to be good for marketing.

    This one fooled me..
