Durex Puts Ugly on Your Pillow -
"Last Longer" Campaign
Published: Oct 31, 07

It may be counterintuitive, but the folks at Durex in New Zealand have boosted their condom sales 28% by giving away pillowcases with realistic images of rather unattractive people on them.

But you know things work differently south of the equator; it’s hot in the winter, and cold in the summer. So, maybe butt ugly gets them hot, and hot gets them cold. They probably should have put a picture of a sheep on there. Go figure?

To highlight this product benefit, DDB Auckland from New Zealand distributed limited edition pillow sleeves at Erotica. As a result, the Durex stand was inundated, increasing sales by 28%. It was such a hit with the guys that hundreds more pillow cases were printed and sold in D.vice sex stores as a continuation of the promotion. (cubeme)
