Whenever I log on, there's some new suggestion here. I am surprised how people come up with all this stuff.

Most of those here are professionals. They make their living by providing such solutions.

Placing descriptive leaflets about the product in the waiting rooms of dosctors' clinic, beauty salons and dentists would also be an easy way to create targeted awareness.

Such leaflets could also be placed in the specialized stores selling upscale brands of sanitary fittings.









These are quite practical suggestions. Leaflets aren't much of a hassle to produce and doctors' waiting rooms are places where people do have free time to browse things.







Making the right moves is the essence of success

How about CCTV in airport lounges and on Plains. Captive, qualified audiences.

This too is a very viable suggestion, in view of the equation.


I have read the entire topic. It made fascinating reading and added to what I know.


I don't know if movies etc are shown on long distance rail or bus travel in Pakistan. If they are, airing short message aired in these avenues could also be useful.

They show dirty programmes in buses going to Lahore, Rawalpindi and other cities from Faisalabad.

What may be dirty for you may NOT be dirty for others.

You should have described what you believe to be a dirty programme.

Much would depend on the profile of the people traveling on such buses.  If that profile matches the profile of the product consumer, then this is certainly a practical idea.

Yes. If such planes and pilots are available out there, this isn't very expensive and is a spectacular way of announcing things.

If they are available, it can be a spectacular yet economical way of creating awareness. If such crew will have to flown in, it will not be feasible.

I have heard that new product launches are big hassle.

Not exactly a hassle. That said, it is always a huge trial of the skill, stamina, and resourcefulness of those in charge of the launch.

Yupp. They say the success rate of new products is very low?

Yes. I suggest you read this topic right from the beginning. It contains a wealth of information about new product launches, especially when advertising budgets are limited.
