Celebrities getting our money

Post by torman »

Iwould like to know how much it's costing R.M to hire the likes of Joan Collins,Westlife,Bill Oddie,& Keith Harris for the xmas commercial,that's probably where Crozier has been sorting out ORVILLE'S bloody contract.

The pens in the cancer research letters cost a lot but if they include them they get 3 times as much money.

Advertising is all about spending money to make money.

the problem is how many people at xmas suddenly think "hmmm it's xmas i have some cards and presents to send, how do i do it again"

royal mail is a brand that really doesn't need advertising especially employing stars to do it, it's just a waste of money.

The idea of paying that bunch of 'has beens' is a joke. A one time actress without a single decent film to her credit, an annoying little bird watcher from Waste of 'Time Team', a failed 'boy band', and a ventriloquist who hasn't been funny for thirty years. What next? Bros? Petula Clark? Torchy the Battery Boy?

Isn't it about bloody time that these annual adverts tried to drum into people to put the right postage on their cards this year. Especially with the dimensions of some cards. There's no worse PR than when a punter thinks we've lost all their cards to their loved ones but they're setting in the DO with a yellow sticker gathering dust until they're shredded.

The last posting dates need to be mentioned as well. But I guess the campaign will be some cringe-worthy piece on how granny's so happy when she gets a card.

At the end of the advert they had the cheek to say it was "The People's Post Office".I thought Royal Mail regarded the Post Office as a business not a social service .Surely the Advertising Standards Authority would have something to say about that?

I know Collins is a right true blue Tory , they've wheeled her out a few times , that's why RM have hired these D list celebs .Surprised RM didn't try to hire lookalikes but that'd mean someone's "job" couldn't be justified .
You'd need a fish eye lens to film Vanessa Felch , loved Tommo's alternative RM advert :dance :wink: :funneh :funneh
