Bizarre Advertising around the World
Published on 7/25/2007
Advertising can be creative and even purposely funny. But the
following ads really stand out as being strange, original or just
plain bizarre.
Helium balloons tied to a model's skirt (Germany)
Braun Silk-Epil Epilators are best known as razors which give women
silky smooth legs for up to four weeks. To inform the public of the
product without using traditional advertising, helium balloons were
tied to a model's skirt, leaving only her legs exposed as she walked
around the mall. The Braun branding was written on the balloons.
While, as you can see in the picture, it is a little creepy looking,
it definitely appeared to be entertaining and, apparently, effective.
Traffic to the store increased around 25%.
