Kids in small business ads
Are you as tired as I am of small business owners using their kids in TV advertisements? We have a local car dealer “Carnival Kia” in Nashville who uses his kids to peddle cars. He has got to be the lamest excuse for a pitchman I have ever seen and he has his kids on every commercial with him doing something. Next to the word phase “cheesy advertising” in the dictionary, there is a picture of this guy. LAME. He is always so proud of himself too. I guess his employees want to stay employed. If any of you are want to get fired or are looking for a way out, bring up the cheesy ads.
We also have a chiropractor who has been using his son for TV commercials. Again, a very lame attempt at advertising by this guy. Let you kid stay home and play outside or do whatever but you define what appropriate advertising IS NOT.
Maybe these two guys are in the same “How to make cheesy tv ads” business networking group or something. I’ve done advertising I look back on and am not proud of like standing on the side of a road adertising a haircut sale or putting vinyl lettering on my car but using your kid in your ads? Enough already. It’s probably why TIVO was invented.
