creative goes here

ok, so, you're a high school senior guy, about to go to prom, and you need a tux. what promotion would motivate you to rent early and upgrade to a higher quality tux and some accessories?

can't involve the two basic male interests: alcohol or sex

How about a date for the prom?
They could "register" at the tux shop and single dateless ladies could peruse the available tux clad lads for potential dates.

limitations: only a couple thousand to work with, can't go on any high school campuses or involve other media without benefiting them in some obvious way

some sort of sweepstakes? come in 3 wks early and upgrade to a nicer tux to win a prom prize? however the guidelines is a turn off to high school kids

high school kids are too afraid of looking like losers to do this

maybe a barbeque - corny - and feature a day where high school bands and MCs could play

no, i don't own a tux shop you crazy party

Like I said - give 'em a video game if they upgrade - I think a lot of guys'll go for that.

ok...then how bout a discount on the tux rental if they rent early.
A free CD with accessory upgrade...either games or music.

And I'm still curious what your interest in this subject is Fodder. Are you involved in a tux promotion? Do you work for an Ad agency that has been hired by a tux shop?
Come on...spill it. Sup?

the goal is to get them to spend more, not less

free cd is ok, but most kids don't want their tastes reduced to a top 40 mix cd

this was a case study i did today; next wk i have to give a presentation on it so i'm trying to force myself to think about all the different factors, possible classmate ideas i'll be competing against, etc

Coffee, anytime you see something random like this, we are helping fodder w/her homework. Try & keep up.

How about registering early will put them in a drawing to win a 6 hour limo rental for the night of the prom?? Give away 5 limo rentals total so there is a better chance of winning.

How bout a free puppy or kitten.

Shelters are always looking for homes for critters.
A tux shop could combine forces with a shelter....nevermind.

uhh. Pizza coupons? Movie passes? Limosine carpooling (split a limo between 3-4 couples if the guys have upgraded their rentals)? Free corsages (sp?).
