When thinking about what I wanted to blog about I began searching funny or interesting commercials on Youtube. There happens to be a lot of interesting ones on there. However, the one that caught my eye was this Condom Commercial, mainly because it was Balloon Animals and one was pink 🙂 I like pink. But anywho, so I click on the Commercial labeled “Best Condom Commercial In History” and this funny thing pops up.
So I watch the Commercial and I laughed like crazy. It’s kind of ingenious making the balloon animals out of condoms, I thought it was pretty cute actually. But the main point I’d like to take from this commercial is that they way that they marketed the Condoms was by showing them throughout the Commercial, out of package and the different colors of their product that they offer in this particular way. Also they chose to make it light-hearted and funny to watch unlike some commercials where is steamy and sexy this one was actually cute. (and it didn’t make anyone feel awkward as I watched it with a few friends in Econ Class) 😀 But all in all I thought it was a good way to market a product that many consumers are shy, quiet, awkward/ don’t talk about into something that when you see it you laugh. Therefore I think this type of marketing to consumers was effective because it took off that edge and made you think about the product with little negativity.
