Innovative Marketing, huh?
I love marketing, advertising and promotions. Call me quirky, I just find the stuff fascinating. So this is my place to share my favorite marketing tactics from the news.
And if you know of any neat marketing/advertising/promotion that I don't have listed here, please email me with a link to it! andi.enns[[at]]yahoo.com

Spotlight on: Purple Cow
Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
Amazon Price: $4.48 (as of 06/02/2012)![]()
This book is about being different. If you saw herd after herd of plain brown cows, you'd get bored. So if in one herd, there was a purple cow, you'd notice!
Yoga Makes You Flexible!

A yoga studio in Hong Kong made these innovative flexie straws! It must have cost them an arm and a leg to do this.
Green Cars
Everyone knows about the Toyota Prius. But does everyone know it when they see it? It's a pretty nondescript car.
See here:

A little flashier than a standard car, but nothing screams that it's different and better.
Now see Nissan's Effis, a concept green car that may be in production soon:

Now that's a car that screams "THE WAY OF THE FUTURE!!!!" (admittedly, in a retro sort of way)
I think that Nissan has it right. Make it a car you can't ignore, like the Mini Cooper or the VW Beetle.
(By the way read more about the Effis here.)

YouTube: The Lemonaire
This is the most innovative commercial I've seen in a long time.
Lemonaire
This is pretty good, especially for a commercial. It's also a pretty good beginner's representation to business jargon. (And the kid's pretty cute, to boot)I wish more kids would get that entrepreneurial bug and that more parents would support it.
This is really a video that can go viral. What kind of videos can your company make?
Jave - in style
Design student Melissa Cloutier designed a coffee cup with a handle and nifty cream holders.

These look like the way of the future - a fun disposable mug for your java, and no need to keep track of your condiments!

Reader Feedback

AndiEnns predicts:
I predict that, eventually, new packaging innovations will be available on to a select few - the rest will have boeing coffee, cars, and straws!

Useful Baggies
Would YOU eat a sandwich that looks like this?? I wouldn't!
Which is precisely the point of Sherwood Forley Anti-Theft Lunch Baggies.
