Get Your Valentine’s Back Hair Removed

Why didn’t I think of that?  I can get my valentine’s back hair removed for a V-day present! 

It’s always a good idea to run your latest marketing idea past a few other people before you run with it.  That’s the message I take from the ad above.  This is an ad that ran in my local paper and in my personal opinion it shouldn’t have.  Granted, everyone wants to take advantage of special occasions to boost their business but really, there are some combinations that should be avoided.  Whatever poor schmuck gives laser hair removal to his significant other as a V-day gift won’t have to worry about what to get her next year. 

To the guy who created this idea I have this advice, “Reminding your girlfriend/wife that she has back hair isn’t romantic and it isn’t very smart either.  Next year run this ad as a February special instead.
