The secret to selling ANYTHING...

In talking with my colleagues yesterday, we reminisced about our old Sanrio toys and accessories. Surfing around the Internet I have learned that to sell any consumer product, Hello Kitty ensures its success. After years of R&D, many companies end up with products that are totally unreasonable or useless. To recoup costs – I suggest putting Hello Kitty on the product. It will sell like hotcakes. Anything that has Hello Kitty sells – examples:

* Hello Kitty bowling balls (they didn’t use enough red dye so they needed to sell pink bowling balls)
* Hello Kitty mini fridge (someone thought it would be neat to have a cooler sized fridge until they realized what a waste of electricity it would be)
*Hello Kitty water dispenser (originally a water dispenser for dogs – but why not people too?)
*Hello Kitty car bucket seat cover
*Hello Kitty four-poster canopy bed (Disney Princess is so passé – now what to do with all these pink beds)
*Hello Kitty software (some developer got bored)
