Saw this wanted ad in the window of a café in Newtown.
Must have waiting and coffee experience.
Yes, I’ve spent extended amounts on time waiting in phone queues for a customer service representative. And by the time you get a person you often need a coffee.
Must be available weekends and nights
When do you think I spend all my time waiting in call centre queues?
Looking back through the photos I have taken in Tokyo I found this one of a train covered in iPod advertisements. Not just the outside, but also all the ads inside.
Being the major transportation form in Tokyo, about 70% of all travel, trains are also the perfect venue for advertising. There are ads around the inside of the car just below the roof; banners hang from the ceiling at intervals the length of the car; and JR East carriages have video ads above the doors (with all the dialogue in subtitles).
But this train was special. All the ads are for iPods, all the poster, all the video, and it even had some on the outside. And not just this car, but every car of the train.
I wonder how much it costs to have a train devoted solely to your advertising? And is it worth it?
I have only seen a couple of devoted trains in my stay. But I can see when they might be effective: you have 5 to 30 minutes of a lot of people’s time, with only your ads to look at (aside from their keitai or PSP).
This train is only medium full, I have been on much more crowed trains in Tokyo, where you can’t move.
The interesting thing about this shot is the advertisement for boxer briefs in multiple colours and patterns. In Tokyo you see more adverts for fancy men’s underwear (than in Australia).
While there are still ads for women’s underwear, there more a balance. The social structure allows men to be more concerned about their appearance, without people queerying their sexuality.
And the man on the ad reminds me of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen from Changing rooms.
I noticed this funny advertisement on the web today. (Actually on my own blog)
Looks like an ad for a candidate in the Australian Federal Election. But whats so funny about it?
Well, the election was last weekend and I’m still getting ads telling me who I should vote for.
Looks like someone forgot to cancel the ads, didn’t put the right end date on their campaign, or have money left in their AdWords accounts so just left it to run out.What ever the reason it looks a little silly.
Found this on a community noticeboard. Reliable maybe and not too expensive, but don’t let them teach your kid English.
