Who's cool?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Hello!

In a bid to keep you lot involved in all that is TheSite.org, we have yet another question we'd like you to answer for us in the name of research.

Drum roll please...

"Which companies do you think are cool, and which would you like to see sponsoring this site?"

If you tell us why you chose who you chose that would be really helpful.

Thanks muchly
You're all lovely (mostly ;) )

Susie and the rest of TheSite crew :)

    It's got to be Ann Summers surely.

    Or Durex.

    Or Rizzla.

    ~hmm.

    I only really notice companys that are pissing me off... In fact advertising piss's me off

    Rizla and Tango seem to be good advertisers, but i don't know enough about the company's to say for certain. CafeDirect seem pretty cool.

    ann summers... Shop side is ok, but there "party + sales" model tends to get people into debts they then cannot pay off.


    BAD ADVERTISERS / uncool companys :
    (Is this cool? Am I cool? How about now? Am i cool now? Well? AM I?..... Sorry, having a "day today" moment)

    Coca Cola
    Pepsi
    Anyone that sends out spam
    nestle
    Any Bank
    Any insurance company
    Any company that makes money through helping people sue.
    Nike + Rebok + hi-tec + Addidas + anyone that sells a name rather than a product.
    AOL - Advertise here and i'll consider closing my account. I wont actually do it, but i'll consider it.
    VW - For threatening to sue Mr WHSpliff
    NAI
    The Daily mail, The Sun, The sport... In fact all tabloids.

    To answer where to best advertise, we really need to know who you want to attract.... Age, sex, locallity, class....


    And for some more info : How i found out about the site.

    A article on a news site about how a charity (the prince's trust I think) had something like 100,000 flyers advertising this place destroyed, after some-one working for the charity had a look on the boards and decided that it wasn't suitable for the youth market (encouraging drugs and sex I think they mentioned).
    After reading that i had to look.

    Maybe a nationwide graffiti campaign by all current thesite members would do the trick. And its free advertising.

    We're not looking for places to advertise, we're looking for potential sponsors of our site.

    But thanks for being so helpful :)

    CafeDirect. Well, basically any company that supports Fair Trade ethics...that eliminates people like Coca Cola, P*psi, McDonalds and such like. Id even have reservations about Vodafone tbh.

    Whats wrong with coca cola ? I think Rizzla, thats a class idea, or a beer company, John smits are a current favourite and I'm quite sure a few universities would jump at the chance of advertising on here, student type products, pot noodles, confectionary etc.... ?

    Let's get sponsored by British American Tabacco.

    They have loads of money rolling around and would welcome the opportunity to promote themselves on a teenage site.

    The financial implications are huge.

    Seconded: *that site that someone mentioned earlier*

    I subscribe and I'm a regular on their forums and, although I don't work for them, I sort of know a couple of the people who do and I quite like it.

    Other than that.. Lynx?

    Try and get the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday to, I'd be bloody impressed if you managed it! :D

    Do not get British American Tabacco, or any cigarette company, to sponser you!

    I imagine that many of the big clubs would be good, as J said. Drugs awareness groups would be good, but probably need the money themselves.
