Bunny Challenge

I picked this up from a writing challenge and adored it, so I'm sharing it with you.

Your challenge is to come up with a marketing idea and pitch it here.

The story line: After years of handing out dyed eggs, the Easter Bunny is in search of a new gift to give to kids. You run a company who's hoping to land the Easter Bunny's account. What's your product and your pitch?

Let's see your answers! Send this to your blogging pals to do too! Here's what to do: Comment your interest in participation in my comment box. Then post the challenge and your pitch in your blog, linking back to here. Let's here what you got. Inquiring bunny lovers want to know.

MY PITCH:
"Okay everyone, let us get started with our meeting. As we are all aware, this world has turned into a mess over religion, the economy, and concerns over the environment. We all know that the Main Man, Sir Cad Bury Bunny is just tired of all the entitlement egg delivering, not to mention his long term desires of simplifying life and learning how to Co-Exist while improving the environment. Therefore we are the first to announce to you that his company, Eggs For Color has now merged with Bees for Comb. For years there have been drama and competition between the bunnies and the bees, and so after many long discussions between the Queen Bee and Sir Cad Bury Bunny, we are pleased to announce that this merge will mean that at Easter, all the bunnies for Hire will be delivering Beeswax Egg candles instead of eggs. Our Bunny Beeswax is not only 100% natural, but it's a renewable resource. The candles are shaped in the form of eggs, and they come in all different colors! Two major bunny points are the high melting point of the beeswax, which gives you exceptionally long burning time. Plus you can use these candles throughout the year: Birthdays, Passover, Christmas, you name it. Therefore assisting with the economy, helping the world learn how to get along, and still offering the fun hidden game for all the young children. One more thing, Queen Bee and Sir Cad Bury Bunny want to make you aware of the fact that Beeswax is a fantastic alternative to traditional candles, not to mention healthy, and produces a non-toxic, naturally aromatic candle.
By the way, we guarantee there will be no bonuses paid out to the top CEO's of this newly merged company. We're for Main street."

So get started.

Answers and Winner

Here are the answers to the past weekends contest quiz:
*(if you would like to see the questions before you read the answers click on the link above this sentence or right here is okay too.

1. P.A.I.N.L.E.S.S. (if you figured out the letters that were missing within the word operation then you could determine that the word operation was missing Pain-so it was painless.)

2. The Great Lakes: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ontario
(There are five lakes being blue (as in true blue). Lake Michigan belongs to the United States, the other lakes are shared by the United States and Canada. The lakes are part of a chain, with locks between some of them. Many shipwrecks occur by grounding on rocks in shallow water. The initials spell "homes", which are found in neighborhoods.)

3. Tennis shoes (issues are written ten times, when you say it slowly it sounds like
Ten-ISH- oes.)

4. The Letter D (get it now??)

5. misunderstanding between friends (the word MISS is under the word understanding, therefore miss UNDER-STANDING and both those words, miss and understanding, are between the two words friends.)

6. Laughter (He and his wife were at a comedy club and the symptoms are the description of what happens to someone who is laughing. Next time ask yourself what type of club do you think it is and are other people experiencing the same, "symptoms." That may give you some good hint management to get you to the answer.)

See? The answers are there so long as you don't over complicate things. Surprisingly I've loved these types of riddles and as you all know I am quite "detailed" by nature. They're wonderful exercises to help the brain see clearly and simply and as you know that is another thing I try to live my life by (sometimes not by choice but it's taught me how to be)--- being simple.

In my training classes I would have them do these puzzles and riddles to start the day off, and even included them in the required Cruise Question tests required to pass training. As the ones that went on to be successful, they learned not to over complicate a sale, or over talk their guest-by learning to listen by reading the words, they're learning to hear their client very well--without making it too confusing for the guest, as the majority of the guests that my sales friends dealt with had never cruised before---see? Simple but to the point.

THE WINNER IS!!:
MARTHA!!!
She just celebrated her 7 year anniversary with her husband, and she makes delicious decorative cutsie kiddie cakes, congratulations Momma Martha and happy anniversary too!
