When mummy came home from the supermarket, she showed me this small box of tissues and told me that she got it as a free gift from buying two packets of milk which worth 1 litre each. Then in my mind I was thinking, ‘ mummy you bought 2 litres of milk just to get this small box of tissue or is it that you do not know that you will be getting this box of tissue when you buy the milk.’
So I asked my mum about it and what the answer I had was that, she did not even know she will get this box of tissue until she was making her payments at the cashier. The cashier told her that actually this box of tissue was given out to all those who make a purchase of the brand of milk.
Personally, I think that the milk company has made quite an interesting choice of advertising method, by printing their advertisement on the tissue box. Even though, some people may just bring home the tissues, used it up and throw it away. But at least, there is still a chance of people looking at it for at least once as I believe no one will use all the tissues in the box at one go. Well, to me, I like the concept of the advertisement. I find that the advertisers cleverly make use of the colour pink to associate it with strawberries. That’s why you can see a cow with pink patches on it and also a pink background. The tagline of it is also associated with pink, ‘be in the pink’. The tagline sorts of tell us that for one to be in good health, they need to have milk in their daily life. So when the consumers want to buy milk, the first think that will come into their mind will be this brand of milk no matter what flavor they are choosing.On the tissue box, it is also suggested that this strawberry milk is much healthier that other brands as it has ‘the perfect balance of Highs and Lows’ and it is made with real strawberry juice.
