The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Greetings once more - your favourite supplemental GAD fest is back again, taunting you with prizes you probably won't win like a carrot in front of a donkey. If you didn't love it, you wouldn't keep coming back.
Something a little different this time, in that this competition actually requires you to think a little rather than splatter your 'artistic' daubings on a banner :) What we'd like you to do is come up with some ways in which Special Reserve could promote themselves effectively. Bear in mind we haven't exactly got the backing of the Sultan of Brunei, we'd like you to drop us a few ideas on how best to get across the fact that Special Reserve are cheap, reliable and have a wide product range.
This could be improvements to ways we currently run things, new product ranges you think would appeal to our customers (bear in mind we currently sell rather a lot of stuff - see left sidestrip), new exciting ways to advertise our existing offers or just any ideas that have been floating round your head. Is there some range of products you just can't get hold of that would be perfect for us to sell? Let us know!
Post your ideas in this thread and we'll announce a winner at around the end of February, let's say the 27th. The best suggestions will win whatever prizes we give them, most probably yer standard £25/£50 GAD prize.
(And before anyone brings it up, yes we do think about this stuff ourselves, but we wanted to see what you lot think as well. So button it!)
---------------------------------------------------------
And the winner is..... phi11ip, for the following suggestion:
"Here's an idea, and if carried out correctly could be very beneficial. I've got a nice example too just to prove to you just how beneficial it is. www.staghosting.com was a free hosting service set up last year with the intention of boosting the ratings of a a few sites belonging to a company, one of these sites was www.actiondays.co.uk. Basically, unlike your free hosting, this hosting only offered hosting to domain names, you get 200MB disk space and 4 Gig bandwidth a month, you can upload from any connection unlike Freeola. So basically the company which has nothing to do with hosting has just set up a hosting site, sounds stupid doesn't it? What the requirements of this free hosting are though is that you must display a couple of small text links on your site, on mine you can see them on the links section on the side of the page. Google counts each link as a 'vote' and increases the pagerank of the site in question meaning that it shows up higher in searches, I see you've got 'cheap games' pretty much sorted but you don't show up anywhere when 'PS2 games' is typed in. If people were to display these text links on their sites it would soon make you appear high up on the search results. www.actiondays.co.uk was absolutely nowhere when it started, it had a low pagerank and didn't appear on searches. Have a look now though and you'll see that searching for 'corporate event' on Google.com returns the site as number 2 out of 6,500,000. Think about it. You've already got the hosting capabilities, all it would require is a server and someone to monitor the sites every now and then to make sure the links are there."
Congratulations and well done to everyone who entered.

Thats thinking man. Would they glow in the dark?
I don't know if anyone has said it but make your own condoms with a tag saying:
"We have real Hardware".
"We have real Hardware".
*Betty goes home and talks to her 16 year old son*
"Ooh Jason, I’ve just had a coffee at Rick’s house"
"Yeah...."
"And on a cup I saw a website, full of cheap games"
"Right...." *thinks his mum is crazy*
"Its ukgames.com.... If only we had a computer"
"My friend has a computer! I'll go to his house!"
*Jason goes to Fred’s house*
"Fred check out Ukgames.com"
"I don't have the internet!!"
"doh! Who does?"
"urm, Gary does!"
*Jason and Fred go to Gary’s house*
"Gary check out Ukgames.com"
*Gary logs on UKgames.com with his slow PC*
"Man your PC is slow dude!"
"Yeah I know"
*A few clicks later, Jason Fred and Gary are all aware of the cheap
prices UKgames.com has to offer, Jason Buys a Maxx computer, Fred gets
Freeola Internet and Gary get’s some more Ram from Ukram.com
"All thanks to the Cup"
"Amen to that"
"Yes indeed"
Above is just another typical scenario, all stemming from one cup"
(You’ll have to read the last post for that to make sense.)

Give cups away.
"Do you want a drink betty?"
"Yes love"
*fills the SR cup with coffee*
"There you go"
"Ooh thanks love, that’s a nice coffee -- Oh, what’s this? Ukgames.com?"
"Yes betty, a site full of cheap games!"
"ow love, I think I’ll check that out when I get back home"
"Betty you don't have a computer!"
"Ooh yeah :( thanks love"
*walks away with head in hands*
Just one of the typical scenarios is above.
You could take a SR cup to work with you, and instead of having a plastic cups that burns your hand, you could have a nice SR one, and everyone will see the SR logo, on your cup!

Good grief - the mental image of that is baaad! The sheer size of the 'nip' to enable you to read it, even up close, is staggering.
.. oh, I get it! You're not interested in what's painted - just the nudity. Clever.

paint 'special reserve' on mysts left nip and 'discount network' on her right. then have her parade round the streets of the local towns winking and making lewd suggestions to potential customers.
Hire 80s TV legends The Fonz, Mr.T, and Gary Coleman. And force them into a fight to the death live on TV...or the innerweb in a ring surrounded by naked chicks holding up "Buy stuff from Special Reserve!!" banners.
That Wings Hauser guy could do the commentating too I guess.
