The Balloon Made Me Buy It

Mattress discounters consistently use balloons and crazy inflatable things to sell mattresses. If you need a mattress, you go buy a mattress. If you don't need one, a giant inflatable sheep sure as hell isn't going to trick you into purchasing a mattress you don't need. Then again, maybe it does? Maybe there's a guy out there who can't resist the allure of inflatable animals.

Car dealerships use the same tactic in trying to thin their inventory. This sad balloon advertises a sale for some GM cars and trucks.
