T-shirt discount advertising

Businesses could advertise by giving t-shirt freebies to customers with their company logo and slogan on them. If customers wear it when they shop they get a 5% discount. This will encourage them to wear it and advertise the discount and the business to other people as well.

condom company job qualifications

do you think being sexually active and using condoms is a fair expectation for condom companies to have about employees working in their marketing and customer service departments? it be interesting to see what kind of background checks these companies do on potential hires in order to get to that kind of info. it's not something you can ask directly, is it? maybe it's my immaturity level but I find it amusing thinking about the question 'what skills will you bring to the job' in a condom company interview. how do you answer it?

Choose the music you like while on hold

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to choose the music You like when you are put on hold? An automated system that allows companies to give customers the choice to listen to any music they like when they are put on hold would be a nice little innovation.

Profit margin on display

Do you think it would be fair game to require companies to label along with the price of a product the profit margin they make out of it? I wonder how such practice would alter shopping behavior and in turn pricing of products. For example, would you consider not buying a favorite product because you thought the profit margin the company makes is too high compared to what others make even though you have no problem with the price? By the same token, would you consider buying the most expensive product in the shelf if it had the lowest profit margin thinking the company is honest in reporting the true cost of making it?

Office sex ethics...

To have a sexual affair with your boss at work is unprofessional conduct. It creates favoritism and bias. How about we make it a rule that if the boss has sex with one employee, out of fairness to everyone, he or she must have sex with all employees? All employees will have to consent to this practice in writing before joining the firm. The more sexually incompatible people are in the office, and they will be the larger and more diverse the environment is, the hardest it will be for the boss to engage in a 1-1 affair that discriminates everyone else.. :)

Do you support tree vending machines?

I think our nature is too commercialized already. Please remove vending machines from hollowed-out trees! They are not objects for company marketing, so sad...
