When I visited Sydney in January this year I saw this sign painted on the side wall of Smoking Gun Bagels, a coffee shop in the suburb of Woolloomooloo near the city centre, at 129 Cathedral St.
In the days of social media when everyone posts food reviews, I assume someone rubbished their bagels and they cleverly decided to use this to call attention to their Coffee shop.
I thought it was brilliant marketing! What do you think?
More signs at Signs, signs.
...lots of GOOD bagels here!
ReplyDeleteI hope so, I didn't try them :)
DeleteLOL! We are wising up about social media warts and halos
ReplyDeleteI think so Cloudia. Thanks
DeleteAqui em Cascais, ao pé da praia, há um bar com um cartaz deste género que diz algo como: o pior atendimento, as piores piadas, a música mais horrível... está em inglês e a última linha diz que é humor britânico!
ReplyDeletePode ser que funcione!
Boa tarde :-)
Engracado, tenho que ver isso para a proxima. Um bom dia :)
DeleteIt means they've got a sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteAustralians have a fabulous sense of humour :) Thanks William
DeleteReverse psychology. :))
ReplyDeleteIt might work hopefully. Thanks Catarina
DeleteI am not a bagel eater but I think as advertising it works. People will really want to check that they are the 'worst'.
ReplyDeleteI probably should have gone in and try a bagel as I don't think I've ever eaten one. Thanks Andrew
DeleteQue publicidade!! :))))
ReplyDeleteTambem acho Pedro :)
DeleteI'm still laughing. Great publicity.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was quite funny too Elizabeth :)
DeleteOh, LOL, Sami!!When we first came to Sydney we "lived" in Woolloomooloo! No kidding!
ReplyDeleteGreat sign, too.
Oh, you just shot me back to 1995! :-)
Oh really, nice area to live in Sydney.
DeleteInteressante e divertido.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

DeleteOh dear would I try? :)
ReplyDeleteI probably would, lol. Thanks Marianne
DeleteI LOVE it! I wonder how it's working for him?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, I bet he's getting lots of costumers wanting to try his bagels, lol.
DeleteIt draws one in I suppose
ReplyDeleteMB
I think so too. Thanks MB
DeleteMight as well laugh about those reviewers I suppose. If their bagels are as good as their sense of humor, they will be good.
ReplyDeleteI think reviews are very subjective, so I'm glad they had a sense of humour about it. Thanks Sallie
DeleteI just finished eating a bagel!
ReplyDeleteGood on you Pat, you weren't influenced by the bad review then, lol.
DeleteNow that's making lemonade out of a single lemon.
ReplyDeleteMy SIGNS, SIGNS
You're quite right Photo Cache!
DeleteI hope 'worst bagel guy' doesn't come back looking for a freebie for the great advertising!
ReplyDeleteLol, he probably never thought it would make such a great publicity sign. Thanks Lesley
DeleteThat's funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill.
DeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim.
DeleteThat sign is either negative advertising, or they sell a lot of sausage. Either way it is good sign.
ReplyDeleteLol, thanks TFG.
DeleteA fun sign to capture. Weird advertising.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane.
DeleteOh that made me smile Sami, very clever idea 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, it's a funny one :)
DeleteBrilliant - what people think of! Don't you just think that anything coming our of Woolloomooloo would be amazing, I just love that name!
ReplyDeleteWren x
I know, it's just such a quirky name, lol. Thanks Wren.
DeleteQuite clever of them to use a bad review in this way. There's so many "best of all" signs that at least this one is different. And if it really was only one guy on Facebook the baggels must be pretty good! Did you try them?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this mind blowing blog. I was thinking about good quality Signage Perth which will make my business more famous so that i can get more audience.
