Hey Guys... I have an invention i created - called "Shut the F--k Up" ... I honestly think it could be the next big thing... i could see the worlds population spraying eachother in the face with a pristine stream of cool water as an alternative to giving them the finger, etc. (heh). Thing is, I don't know how to market my idea...
Does anyone have any experience with marketing products, particularily novelty joke products and could lend some suggestions? I would be so appreciative, and Im the kind of guy to remember who helped me once I become rich and famous. :D heh.
please?

turn it into a Lovemark *snicker*
on the real, i could help you but i do marketing strategy for a living so you'd have to make it worth my while...

actually shopped the idea to a buyer at Spencers already... they said it "did not fit with what they are trying to do right now".
:P what do you say to that other than, thank you for your time? Im no salesperson... perhaps i need(ed) to be more aggressive with them?

k77, when you say worth your while what do you mean? Like you want cash up front? commission? :D i just came up with the idea and copyrighted it, i have no clue what im doing other than walking down a trendy street selling it to drunk people late on a friday night.

--- I'm seriously trying to market this shit. Do you guys honestly think it's that bad of an idea?
- hiten0
i think its kinda weak.
- JazX0
It's not that it's SUCH as bad idea, but it's crap... ha ha I maen if you can deal with being known for it, then go for it, as long as you make $$

my old design company we did work for his guy he markets stuff like what your taking about, I thought his products were dumb.
we made the website.

If someone sprayed me in the face like I'm some fucking cat they're shooting water at when it's scratching the sofa I would break my foot off in their ass.

You'd stop talking tho right? I could always market ass shields next.
I think a bottle of Shut the F--k Up is a LOT cooler than a friggin "Magic Barrel"... Nice site design tho...

hahaha the magic barrel is soooo loud it has a motor that spins the can of when its inside but its insanely loud.
we also got the 1/4 tree garbage and we had it up at xmas in the office and the thing fell over one night anf set off the secruity system.

1: the word Monday needs to be capitalized in the first paragraph of your website.
2: Since all you're really selling is water with a provocative name, you need much better packaging/bottle.
3: give it up and get a real job.

(Jul 28 05, 10:39)please refrain from using my name associated with suburban malls. thank you
BTW - while the idea may be a little lame - do not underestimate the power of the gag gift. nobody is going to spray anyone in the face with this, but plenty of people will buy it for the gag effect.

Spendogg - thanks for the positive spin. I totally agree with you - Yeah it's just some water in a bottle with a weird sticker on it... but in all honesty... there's a lot lamer stuff that people buy as gag gifts etc... entire stores devoted to this kinda shit make out well around xmas, etc...

If people can buy the "Pet Rock" people will buy this.
