Marketing Genius

Yesterday on my way into the train station I was given an Easter egg and a leaflet by a lady with a basket. I was in a hurry as were my fellow passengers and unlike normal where I give the wave of dismissal; I took what she was offering.

I got to the platform and looked at stuff I’d been handed.

She was a God Botherer and by handing out chocolate she had convinced me to accept her gift. I was kind of annoyed and chuffed for her at the same time. The leaflet itself had been made to look like something from Facebook and it wasn’t until I’d read a few lines that I’d realised.



Pure marketing genius!

I ate the chocolate, chucked the leaflet, and forgot the address of the church it was advertising.
