From 16 Jan across the tube in London there is going to be an advert for the Money Diet by the publishers. It will run for two weeks and will be on many station platforms. I managed to persuade the publishers to let me piggyback an advert for the site within it, and thought I would give you all a sneak preview.

    Thats going to be a flammin great big advert!!!!

    Have you seen a full size one yet???? I suppose seeing yourself on TV is one thing, but a great big double the size of yourself might be a bit freaky!

    Know which platforms we have to go to yet? And do we get any commissions for making loud remarks/ pointing it out to other travellers??

    Back to the point - nice ad - bright and colourful (and a stripey shirt!)

    No I've not seen a full size one yet - apparently I am going to be nine feet tall. Sadly that makes it a very non-MoneySaving venture for me as it means I am going to have to avoid the tube for two weeks! Its going to be at 80 stations, if you folks would like I can add a list of them in...

    being nine feet tall isn't very mony saving, your stripey shirts would cost even more!

    Super!

    Would be great to see this ad in some of the daylies as well - that way the 80% or so of people who don't live/work in London also stand a chance to get alerted

    Another idea would be trains and/or Post Offices - though I have no idea how much it costs to advertise with them.

    Hi innovate

    I believe the publishers have tried to pick the most cost efective form of ad possible, the budget isn't too big. The tube reaches a lot of people but importantly also has good 'read time' which is useful for a concept like MoneySaving which many haven't heard of before :)
