Would you get naked to promote your product?

by Scott Ames
44 replies
Air New Zealand has a popular video on Youtube. It's their advertisement featuring real flight crews totally naked except for body paint. They even did the safety video the same way.
Quite cleaver. It's creating a lot of buzz.

    If it attracts people to them by doing this then why not. I mean, they have body paint, right??

    If I got naked it would have the opposite effect of promoting the product. Why lose sales?

      Though it may work for some, but if it's an individual question, I would never go that route- not because I think I'll lose sales but for self esteem issues.

        I am naked right now. In fact, I do all my promotions naked. I have to say that conversions have been a little mixed since I start cold calling offline businesses.

      No Mike tell them if they don't buy you will get naked.

      You are probably right. But saying "sex sells" is not the same as revealing a lot of skin. All you need to do is the Kevin Riley mankini photo <shivers in disgust> and you'll get the difference right away.

    I saw the subject and had to reply. It really depends on who wants to see you know? But if your asking because your really going to do it, two words- "Do not". I know you weren`t anyways, I hope.

    Ok, just to illustrate the point of "sex sells" and "naked" NOT being the same thing...

    I was able to track down a picture of KR in his mankini. However, I will only link to it and warn you to view it at your own potential peril....

    If I were to get naked to promote a product
    than this product would probably be very bad, or at least
    not that good.

    And since it is not a good product, I wouldn't go about
    promoting it. Which brings me to my next point:

    No...

      What? You forgot to type in "buffme" when buying your tickets. I did and had a nude flight attendant sit on my lap. It's just to bad that it was a 300 lb ex-All Blacks rugby player.

    There is a nudist camp about a mile from our house! I had heard about it, it's been there forever, but never occured to me to figure out where it was.

    One day I was looking for something on that road in mapquest when I came across the camp's name. They have a website! The photos are all discrete, almost G rated, but you can tell the people are all sans-clothing, but...

    ...I noticed the members are all in their 50s and 60s, and maybe older.

    I'm in my 60s, and even our family dog looks away laughing when I am without clothes. I would frighten everyone away.

    By the way, according to their website, the nudist camp is for sale. Wanna' buy it. :-)
    Don't worry, I won't join. The world is safe.

    Take a girl with a great body and put her in a very tiny bikini. I then have her lay down either face up or face down. I then place the item being sold on her. I then use that picture for the gallery image.

    Works fantastic the majority of the time. More page views and higher sales prices!
