Sinister: Promo ideas

[Charlotte Hall]

     It needs to be something quirky and something which would be anathema 
     to "the starmaker machinery behind the popular song". I bought a BMX 
     bandits record once (shhh!) which had a little cartoon strip inside 
     and someone had handwritten in pen on my copy "I love you very very 
     much". I liked the personal element of this. I guess BMX Bandits sold 
     a lot less records than B&S are going to be selling ... maybe it would 
     be wholly impractical!
     
     Here are some other ideas.
     
     1. Bring back seventies car stickers! ELO did it, why not B&S? There 
     should be a B&S sticker in the back of every car in the kingdom.
     
     2. Willy Wonka style "Golden CDs", 500 of which (e.g.) have a ticket 
     inside entitling the holder to a trip to, er, the Grosvenor Cafe...
     
     3. Free flowers with every purchase.
     
     4. Free tickets for next B&S gig.
     
     5. Lifetime membership of Rolf Harris fan club.
     
     6. "Introduce a friend" discounts and bonus system.
     
     7. That's all.
