Well, there's this company out here doing this ad campaign, and what it is is Peanut Days, they don't really even have a slogan, which is my first question, what do you think would be a good slogan for this promotion? They have barrels and barrels of peanuts, and people come in, eat all the peanuts they want, take all they want, and it's great apparently for business... The store is a building supply store, plywood, doors, flooring, and all that... See here's what i think.... I think the slogan should be something cool... I think that they shouldn't be using peanuts either, because of health reasons as well as how disgusting it makes the store.. That's just me... I think they should have like sucker days, with a slogan like - who's the suckers now? haha, or our prices are so good that you'd think you were being suckered. haha i thought it was good... Anyways, tell me what you think, you ever seen a campaign that was so outrageous all you could do was shake your head? You have an idea for a slogan for their 'Peanut Days' Thoughts Please!!!!

I can't offer much for the slogan. I just wanted to mention that I've seen "peanut days" at some businesses before. You get peanuts in the shell and a drink, and basically you walk around the store and shop, but eat the peanuts and make a mess. Why they chose peanuts, I don't know. I mean, even if they clean the place really well afterward, they can't get all of the peanut residue and anyone who has an airborne allergy is going to go into anaphalactic shock upon entering the business the next day. That might lead to some pretty nasty lawsuits. as for slogans... umm... "In a nut shell, we've got the lowest prices!" "we're selling our items for mere peanuts"

yeah i know what you mean, there's too many allergies to penuts out there that they shouldn't have even considered it.. but whatever right? not bad slogans, and thanks for the response.

Well all I can say is they must have gotten a really good deal on peanuts...lol How bizarre especially these days with peoples allergies. You would think the last thing they would want was something that kept people away..I hope they have signs warning people before they get too close to all the peanuts. Peanut days..hmm I just can't see it.."Buy plenty for peanuts" ummm I don't have a clue...lol Seems like they could have come up with something better than that.
