Cut the Price in Half
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes Probably the biggest CON that most Suckers fall for. It’s the standard in any infomercial where they say “HOLD UP” if you order right now we’ll cut the price in half. The angle on this is most of the manufacturers double the price anyway so by cutting it in half it’s back to their normal price. When the Sucker hears something is half off they think it’s time to ...

Sell Women
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes It doesn’t really matter what kind of women you have to sell your product as long as they are reasonably attractive. The prettier the woman the less effective your product has to be. It’s funny to watch because Men won’t remember the product but will remember the woman. Women will remember the product and semi get pissed off at the woman for being stupid. In the end this angle ...

Lie Big
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes Sometimes you have to come up with the biggest lie possible to sell your products. You have to get them to swallow a pill that the FDA doesn’t approve and a pill that doesn’t back up it’s claim.

Generate a Jingle
Reading time: < 1 minute People remember products because someone with a Kazoo came up with a elementary rhyme. Especially for kids they will humm a stupid Happy Meal commercial for no damn reason. Think about how many kids want a happy meal way before they even know what money is! The Jingle is a powerful and they’ve been doing it since before TV on the radio. If you ever have a product that seems ...

Cross Promote
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes If you can use another product to promote your product then you can probably get your advertising expenses cut in half. So when you see Fritos and Taco Bell then you know the people at Taco Bell called them up and said how would you like to share in the advertising if we include your El Fuego hot chips in one of our many concoctions of tortillas and meat? ...

Raffle/Sweepstakes
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes Connect your business to some kind of game where the more they buy the better chance they have to win. McDonalds again is the leader in this field everytime that Monopoly game comes out. I bet you my last dollar their sales go up simply because a lot of Suckers are trying to collect enough pieces to get a Convertible Camaro. The beauty of this angle is people want ...
