Oh u lik to sweep...I hav a job for u at my place...

Limca's... “Haseen Lamho Ko” !!!

Imagine, showing this 2.30 minutes advertisement at the prime time slot, and paying nothing! Reason, “Haseen Lamho Ko” is been played on the top music channels, over and over again, as a song. Coke is not spending a single penny to these music channels to show the advertisement. Moreover, Music channels are bound to play its music video, due to its popularity.

Srinivas Murthy, GM-marketing (Flavours), Coca-Cola India agrees “When the Limca ad was first aired, it was a 40-second TV commercial for which we had to pay the channels,” he says. “But when we started getting innumerable requests on our toll-free number for the song, we thought why not scale it up.” Murthy feels that music channels are only too happy to play “Haseen Lamho Ko” over and over again because it has all the elements of a music video — great visuals and an engaging background score. “And in the video the Limca brand is not too much in your face either,” adds Murthy. “This doesn’t put off the viewer even if he watches it a number of times.”

That’s called intelligent marketing!!! Three cheers to Limca’s “Haseen Lamho Ko”!!!

ARE YOU A SATISFICER OR A MAXIMIZER?

KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PERSON YOU ARE:

Are you a maximizer or a satisficer? Find out by taking Dr. Schwartz's test. Rate yourself from 1 to 7 on each of the following statements, with "1" meaning you never do and "7" meaning you always do.


We put together a test that allowed people to rate themselves (on a scale of 1 to 7) in terms of how aggressively they try to maximize their choices and also how happy they feel about their decisions.


1. Whenever I'm faced with a choice, I try to imagine what all the other possibilities are, even the ones that aren't present at the moment.

2. No matter how satisfied I am with my job, it's only right for me to be on the lookout for better opportunities.

3. When I am in the car listening to the radio, I often check other stations to see if something better is playing, even if I am relatively satisfied with what I'm listening to.

4. When I watch TV, I channel-surf, often scanning through the available options even while attempting to watch one program.

5. I treat relationships like clothing. I expect to try a lot on before finding the perfect fit.

6. I often find it difficult to shop for a gift for a friend.

7. Renting videos is really difficult. I'm always struggling to pick the best one.

8. When shopping, I have a hard time finding clothing that I really love.

9. I'm a big fan of lists that attempt to rank things (the best movies, the best singers, the best athletes, the best novels, etc.).

10. I find that writing is very difficult, even if it's just writing a letter to a friend, because it's so hard to word things just right. I often do several drafts of even simple things.

11. No matter what I do, I have the highest standards for myself.

12. I never settle for second-best.

13. I often fantasize about living in ways that are quite different from my actual life.



How to score: Add up your marks and multiply by 10 then divide the result by 13.

50 AND ABOVE = YOU ARE A MAXIMIZER...

BELOW 50 = YOU ARE A SATISFICER...
