  • Anyone good at catchy 2 liners?

    Posted by Kate and Danny on August 30, 2005 at 8:14 am

    Hi guys,

    My boss wants a ‘catchy’ 2 liner for our next adverts, with the following criteria:

    * First and last line should rhyme

    * The general jist must be, ‘ if you’ve got a blank van, your missing out on advertising / customers ‘

    * He would prefer the term ‘ white van man ‘ to be used

    Sorry, no prizes. Just for fun. For all of you who never won a blue peter badge…

    cheers for your time

    Danny

    i’m sad……

    There once was a guy called Dan
    Who drove around in a little white van

    Business was slow, he nearly gave up
    Mmmm an idea, get my van signed up !

    Dan was a man in a little white van
    But now he’s a Plumber and he’s the man

    I’ve got it – after many days of meditating on this I have come up with the ultimate (not two liner but) one liner.

    I was inspired to come up with this by Sir Bob Geldof (Hello sor)

    Here we go:

    Ahem:

    Cough:

    here it is :

    “Just give us yur fookin money”

    Im sure Danny will be over the moon you mentioning this ….. well thats if he’s used one of these lovely peeps slogans :lol1: I hear pennies chinkling.

    Danny what did you come up with in the end or are you still trying to come up with something? …. its always a bit tricky finding that right thing for your own business …. why is it always harder to do something for yourself …… such as a logo etc?
