    Promo Posters

    Posted by StupidWiz.com under Stupid Ideas

    Have you ever encountered a promotional material saying something like “Buy 1, Take 1 - Offer lasts until [insert date here] only!” but it’s already a month or so past the “offer expiry date”?

    Well, we have seen a lot of these, and here’s an example. Sorry, we’ve reformatted our storage disk and we lost the pictures. :(

    It’s just stupid to keep promo posters posted on public areas if the promo is already over. Why waste the space on the wall/whatever if no one would benefit from the poster anymore? People are just disappointed when they see great offers, and then realize that the offer was over a week ago.

    There are also billboards about certain films. What’s wrong with them? Well, some stupid people tend to forget to remove the ads. Sometimes, the ads state that “[insert film title] will be showing on April 30″, but it’s already May 25 or something! That’s just plain stupid!

    Doing this like those = Waste of space, disappointment of people, and proof of stupidity. What do you think?

      I suppose the expired promos are still useful for advertising, even if the original offer is expired.

      Yea I agree, expired promos are stupid ideas. Well what can be done to better disappoint people? You’re right, don’t remove expired promos.

      Edward > Useful for advertising yes but don’t you think ppl would be pissed off at the company once they find out that the company tolerates this? - to their reputation i think. :D

      @Edward: I somewhat agree with you, they can be useful for advertising but as Markwin said… :P

      @Renn: You hate them? Do you remove them when you see them (is that allowed)?

    Your thoughts...?
