Oh Yeah, That’s Gotta Go
“I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.” ~ Stephen Wright
USPS which probably ranks up there in public satisfaction with the DMV and IRS has had a couple semi-clever ads over the last year promoting their flat-rate express shipping products. I always take mild interest in how advertisers try and turn around their client’s image, and I think going with humor and reminding people that they’re still the cheaper option for USPS is the right tack to take. Trying the integrity route would be a bust.
The latest commercial entry in their ad campaign is an absolute winner that makes me giggle every time I see it.
Clowns are creepy. If only I’d had USPS flat rate boxes for Raggedy Ann and Andy.
Love that commercial, clowns are freaky, just like chickens.
