If you’re not an Australian, you may not find the following article as amusing as I have.
But, in these difficult economic times, you have to give the featured brothel points for shrewd marketing.
The story (seen in the Sydney Morning Herald) is this: Gold Coast brothel sponsors survey looking at sex-based web searches.
Result? National press!
Hardly surprising given the outcomes of the survey. SMH’s summary is this: “Victorians are lonely, South Australians are kinky and Queenslanders and people from NSW are just mad for it.”
I reckon this is the type of out-of-the-box, blue-sky marketing that all entrepreneurs should be striving for during these dark days when every marketing penny has to count. A brothel sponsoring a survey? Brilliant!
PS Is the title “general manager” of a brothel just a glorified way of saying “pimp”?
