Advertise your business on my forehead!" says Baazee seller
Mumbai, February 9, 2005
A 21 year old Baazee seller, Pratik Patil has offered advertising space on his forehead for a 30 day period to Baazee buyers. Pratik, a post graduate student from Pune, claims to be inspired by the overwhelming response to twenty-year-old Andrew Fischer, from Omaha, who had offered advertising space on his forehead through an eBay online auction.
Pratik Patil is currently doing a Masters in Computer Management in Pune. He says in the listing, "I'm a very social animal and always hang around theatres, restaurants, malls, college campus, Rotary functions etc. This kind of concept is very new and never ever used in India before. Imagine everywhere that I go, people will notice your company logo/name on my forehead and talk about it to their friends .No matter who you are, or what you are advertising, you can't go wrong with this campaign!"
On eBay.com, Andrew Fischer successfully sold advertising space on his forehead for a 30 day period to Snorestop, a company specializing in snoring remedies. The winning bid was at $37,375.00.
Baazee seller, Pratik Patil will have a non-permanent logo or brand name of the winning bid on his head for 30 days. Pratik will also donate some portion of the winning amount for tsunami relief. The bid starts at Rs. 100,000 and ends by Feb 13, 2005.
