Default Golden Palace Promoting Strikes AGAIN!!

Fron the guys who bought the grilled-cheese sandwich of the Virgin Mary and (I think) bought sponsorship space on Manute Bol's body on the celebrity boxing last year.

they bought the space on some pregnant woman's stomach. On CNN headline they showed her walking around in the mall with a blouse short enough so that her VERY pregnant belly would potrude out with giant black lettering spelling out "Golden Palace.com"


Who the hell is coming up with these idiotic promotions over there anyway?

They pay probably very little for the space on this women and get the company name plastered over CNN.

This is not as idiotic as it sounds then!

Yes...I agree and have made similar statements in the past regarding their promotions.

Please substitute the words 'bizarre' and 'goofy' in place of 'idiotic'

CNN more than likely would not accept, nor have I ever seen, an ad for an online casino. So in essence, they are receiving "free advertising" from CNN and other media outlets for a nominal fee to the person carrying the advertisement.

It's marketing genius if you ask me. Where do I sign up?

In terms of marketing and possibly rate of return, they are damn good. They are paying 1000s of bucks and getting main stream press. Im in marketing and if we could spend spend that and have people talk about it i would get a raise. You can spend 30,000 on an ad in newsweek and not get as much recognition as these guys do.
