Why you should drink a Pepsi while doing your laundry with Tide

Tide loads of Hope and Pepsi Refresh are two great marketing tactics we are very proud of. With accessibility to millions of dollars for advertising, they decide to stomp decisions like paying over $2 million on 30 seconds of SuperBowl advertising (Pepsi) and decide to pump their advertising budgets into real community involvement and intense social responsibility.

Tide Loads of Hope went to devastated regions affected by Hurricane Katrina and assisted the people living in very poor conditions to launder thousands of loads of dirty laundry. Dirty laundry falls right under necessities after food, water and shelter, because clothing is just as important. They are selling “Tide” imprinted tee-shirts and giving 100% of the profits right back into such initiatives. Smart? We say ingenious.
$20 for a tee-shirt that will have at least 20 to 100+ people see it being worn is equivalent to paying $20 for a billboard space that will be seen by tens to hundreds. Now multiply that by the number of total people that will purchase these tee-shirts and you have the most minimal advertising money ever paid by such a huge corporation.
Their Iphone application that assists you to clean almost any type of stain in your everyday life is definitely a great technical approach for their brand as well. Good job TIDE!
Pepsi Refresh turned down writing a huge paycheck for 165 million viewers to be reminded about their great beverages and this year has budgeted $20million towards multiple non profit and community assisting initiatives. How do they select what exact initiatives to support financially?
That’s where the interaction with their direct consumers and fans comes into play. You could go to their website refresheverything.com and enter, vote or support any known initiative listed or unknown that you know about. So pepsi spends no money searching for initiatives, many highlight genuine initiatives they care about in their communities, and then Pepsi assists by financially funding these hopes and dreams. Money very well spent, consumer interaction well executed and of course, who won’t forget that Pepsi built something new in their neighbourhood? Talkability of their great work will go on for years and that’s the best form of advertising….WORD OF MOUTH!

Small businesses should learn from these. Sometimes with a great heart behind your brand and love for your community, you might never need to spend too much to get your brand noticed and your product or service patronized. An honest job well done goes much farther than any planned form of advertising in many circumstances.
Great Marketing tactic #200 – Domino's Pizza – Our Last Pizza sucked Our new pizza Rules

Did their last Pizza really suck? - Pic courtesy of redherring.com
A Great marketing tactic by Domino’s Pizza. “OUR OLD PIZZA SUCKED, NOW TRY OUR BRAND NEW PIZZA”
Did their old pizza really suck? What does this do? Why is this ingenious?
Everyone will obviously want to know the difference between the previous pizza (if we can remember exactly what it tasted like besides a normal pizza) and the so-called NEW Domino’s Pizza. This will drive so much traffic, fueled by curiosity, to the new pizza. Expected Domino’s pizza sales will definitely surge immeasurably and if the new pizza tastes great, it will spark off the most effective marketing weapon on the planet….Word Of Mouth reviews. Domino’s pizzas were probably never as horrible as they make it seem in this video campaign, otherwise Tom Monaghan would not have been successfully selling them for the past 50 years and counting.
Small businesses should learn from this strategy and understand that a sense of “renew” and “refresh” can increase existing customer curiousity and increase brand new customer loyalty. Never forget that the actual “Renewed” product, service or image MUST be a winner otherwise this tactic can actually backfire and give opposite results.
Now let’s all go grab the New and Improved Domino’s pizza and see whether it’s better than the old pizza.
Leave a comment if you have tasted the “new” Domino’s pizza!

Simple Yet Successful Business Idea #101 – HeadBlade.com
Over 49% of all men in the United States are balding by the age of 30. This is about 1 in every 2 men that have to shave their heads every morning to make the random scanty growing hair follicles on their scalp look decent. One of these men is Todd Greene, 42. Todd was shaving his head in the late 90s and one day got very frustrated by the use of the generic shaving stick.
Without an ounce of skill on building another shaving stick to replace this irritating long handled, finger-using tool, he has successfully created a “Shaving Tool” that today is responsible for a multimillion dollar company that employs hundreds, makes him millions each year, ownership of numerous patents, features in tons of major magazine publications, the coolest apparel and a great smooth shiny bald head daily.
HeadBlade is our selected simple business idea due to the fact that many men did complain about the generic shaving blade but only ONE did something about it and today drives a $110,000 HeadBlade customized Lotus to work every day.
Do you have to be able to build what makes you successful before you try it? Todd says more
