Night Ranger Sleep Aid

'80s Hair Metal bands endorse OTC meds

With the public becoming more aware of the value of generic medications, older name brands need to recapture lost market share. Night Ranger Sleep Aid would succeed by appealing to the 18-35 set's thirst for kitsch. Trace inactive ingredients could be ascribed to the endorser for added value at no cost to production. Other companies would seek endorsements from Hair Metal bands with names apropos to the product: i.e. Maxi Pads With Wingers. The macabre themes of this genre's band names makes cross-marketing potent.

       Sledgehammer Migraine capsules? Twisted Sister Tampons? Not sure... Oh, and welcome to the HB, [fsaville]! Rock on.

       There might well be a market for "Def Leppard" hearing aids (perhaps using the original spelling).   

       Ipecac endorsed by Poison has a nicely ironic ring to it.

       I saw the band Survivor endorsing coffee. It was really a funny ad. The dude's voice was still good.

       Sounds like a law firm. With the oil painting of the partners in the lobby.   

       "Matchstick, Menn, and Hugh, attorneys at law".

       Iron Maiden Iron Supplements - the music for the television commercial would be "Run to the Pills".

       A skin cream to remove age spots, endorsed by Motley Crue?
