Made $100,000 Overnight Giving Away These For Free

tjk1058 · 06-24-2009, 09:20 AM

If anyone here watches Kate & Jon plus 8 and saw their show the other day then you also saw that the kids received 4 new "crooked houses".

Well the makers of these house just stuck gold. They sold over $100,000 of these after the viewing of this show by giving these away to the kids.

This is still growing though and they are hiring more people on to complete these orders as more flood in.

Here is the story on aol. Hope the link works?

I knew almost immediately that this was going to be a great marketing move for them with the amount of exposure they would be getting.

I wasn't sure and I bet they weren't sure just how much it was going to be worth to them but I bet they get additional TV exposure after this.

It certainly didn't hurt that his products were featured right during the sensationalization (is that a word?) of Jon and Kate's breakup. Major exposure, there.

Amazing marketing story for Crooked Houses. Sucky story for the Gosselin children.

Yeah... I feel real bad for the kids as I came from a broken family also. Different ages get affected differently by break ups and I'm sure the 2 older girls will take this harder then the little one's but it isn't good for any of them.

I really think they should stop the show at this point and concentrate on making things work now (if it isn't too late) without the interference of the media.
