Comparethemarket - Meercat toy farce!
Comments

They say there's one born every minute and I've just checked if there are any Birds Eye Polar Bear toys on eBay. I've got three of those.
Blimey! Is all I can say."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
I''ve gotta hand it to whoever is handling advertising at Compare the Market, they struck gold with the Meerkat idea.
Apparently their site saw a 75% increase in traffic as a result of the campaign.
Seemples indeed!

It worked for me. Two meerkats have arrived for two of my cars. I have another car due soon so will make it three. The stuffed toy does nothing for me but the children had a laugh.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -

I thought they were delivered personally by a couple of meerkats.0 -

All jokes aside the most effective adverts are the irritating ones, at least from the company's perspective. Meerkats, opera singers and the like get on many people's nerves but produce a staggering increase in traffic.:)
