I don't know if the words were the work of the retail store or from Megabass....either way, it is none to subtle....I'm torn between admiring it and being just a little bothered by it.

 

"WHEN GETTING LUCKY JUST WON'T MAKE THE CUT.  MEGABASS."

Please don't make this into a bashing of either company.  I'm strictly talking about the advertising/marketing on display here.

Not very subtle at all, lol. Clever.

I'm not seeing the ad. But rest assured, this is a Google ad, not a Bassresource sponsor.

I thought it was bold and clever. Both companies have their fan base, most of which probably dwell between the both.  Why would it bother you if you have 0 affiliation with either company?

Its a rotating banner ad on the website he linked, not a google ad. You have to visit the page to see it.

 

My initial thought was this was about the two sub services that have had battling google ads.

Mark,   just because I tend to cringe at what I consider 'negative' advertising.  In my idealized world, any quality item should be able to maintain a positive ad campaign on the merits of the product being hawked. 

Ah, ok.  I thought it was about an ad on THIS site.  LOL!

That's kind of a reach, man.  As someone with a marketing background, that's not only fair game but par for the course when your major competitor has a punny name instead of something proprietary.  

i'm not one for bashing and so forth either, but i also love a clever marketing campaign and this one is pretty witty.....

Anyone see the ad with "the other KVD" on all fours? Hysterical, and a direct poke at the comp.

This is a great shop, that I actually shop at. I can imagine it was a Megabass ad, not theirs.
