Quote>Pissing off 20% of your customer base, is not a good marketing strategy.
History has shown that it does indeed work very well. (Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is open for debate - but in terms of selling product, it works.)
Advertising is intended to grab peoples attention. For 3 months in a row Mirage have been posted about on probably the largest website in their marketplace and maintained virtually front page status on the forum for a substantial portion of that time. That is very good marketing. Even people knocking the ads are not questioning the quality of the product (haven't seen a single quality complaint).
I realise that the USA is far more conservative than Europe but the ads haven't been very sexual and I doubt the number of people offended is as high as 20%.

My bet is even below 5 percent...

I don't mean to brag, but I had that status for a while! And thought I'm now allowed in the ladies side of the forum....I think I may be top 10 there as well?
Mirage,
Hi I'm Shah, Just got my A. If you wish I could advertise for you on this page any time any day. All it will cost you is one complete system! I can verify my effectiveness via the various threads and nastygrams I have received over the past year. I can even suggest a good name for your next line of equipment. The Shah!

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

80 > 20
If I had X $ and needed to sell Y product. I would advertise to the 80% not the 20%. If half of the 80% buy my goods I will do better than if all of teh 20% bought my goods.
That and well.....some girls may like this advert?
