Furry Marketing
May. 9th, 2008 11:04 pmDoes a company's use of a fursuit or a furry concept make you more or less likely to buy the product being advertised? Elephant.co.uk use an elephant fursuit whilst Foxy Bingo use (an admittedly poor) fox one. Do/Would you let the advertising sway you in this way?
As for me, I can't stand that bastard Coco Monkey in the Coco Pops advert so I never buy those nobbly balls of monkey shit. However I do like Quickie the Nesquik Bunny and so buy a lot of his chocolate flavoured powder to add to my milk. In many ways I would like to be Quickie - he seems to happy and bouncy selling chocolate milk all day. It must be a good life.
And then, added to this, does anyone buy products because they want to yiff the character?
