There does seem to be people out there who believe marketing and the if it’s written down it must be true, also anything that sounds heathly is worth the extra money.

So i do say when we get this started, to Advertise that we do Offer “Wheat Free” bats… and charge and extra X amount for these babys.

No no no! We can do sugared ones too! ..on a stick like a toffee apple, maybe…?

I notice that the bats are getting all the attention here, is there something your marketing knowledge could help us out with in terms of making the bagels more prominent to the consumer…? You know, making the whole bagel thing part of the whole customer “experience” of our produce, really giving them the full Bats AND Bagels sensation?

we can ask ozzy if he wants to back our idea, and maybe can do a little promo for us on let’s say, YouTube. Let’s start on the scenario for that.

They both burst out laughing. The shot freezes, and then screen fills with the name of the product, and a voiceover says ‘Not in any way endorsed by Ozzy or Lemmy. So you know it’s good for you.’

It’s a free sample. And there was nobody there when we delivered it, but we wanted the gorgeous people of the GM to have this special threat. If you don’t feel special enought to try it, you could give it back to us. I’m confidant we can find somebody who will appreciate our efforts
