Uncle Big has been working on a new line of advertising for the Droolin’ Devil line, what do you guys think?

I think we need to see more pics to better answer the question.

Oh Yeah- That works alright!

I love Uncle Big.

hottest hottie ever

You likey?? I have more.
Nick, can I add images to this post??
It sounds like the masses need to have more hotties.
Your thoughts???

Big - You can’t add more, but I can. Just send them over and we’ll get them posted.

Hmm, me is thinking how long it will take before the women of th Blog perk up and complain there is no hot sauce hunkie or however one would word it.

DK has hit the nail on the perverbial head.
This is all being done for the sake for research, or science or whatever other noble cause we can use as an excuse to look at hotties.
I can post more this evening if you all are willing to give me your honest, informed and articulate input on the feasibility of this type of marketing campaign appealing to our target demographic.:-)

Nick,
I will forward you some more of the models/product idea shots this evening.
Let me see if I have any dudes posing with product, we did a shoot with a few men in the spring.
That way we’ll keep both sexes happy.
Ciao

I do have to say she is beautiful and you have cornered the male population of chiliheads. HOWEVER this does nothing for the women, so in my humble opinion, I think it’s time the husbands took the womens places and let us submit pics to Nick

pmac, thanks for the idea.

Mrs. Ryan,
I make no promises, on finding a Pepper Prince photo, but I’ll try.
Unfortunately you might end up with a pic of me (pre back wax) in my Team Canada Speedo with a Darth Vader light saber secured in the waist band, scuba flippers, snorkle and of course my handy dandy propellor beanie pulling a Radio Flyer red wagon full of 5 ozers of Uncle Big’s Killer Hot Sauce. Damn stag party photos!! They always come back to haunt you.
I’m hoping I can dig up something for the ladies in our midst. If not, I promise you this, I will do a specific shoot with the sexiest man I can find just for you. Maybe I can get Nick, CaJohn, Scotty B, Creator and others to pose for a HSB Swimsuit Issue?? Hmmm???
Banana hammocks are optional, crunches however are mandatory.

Dr. Biggles, the model (Tennille) is a body builder and training for a competition at the time, thus the leaness of her body. It’s a little scary I do agree, but in her day to day life, she’s a healthy girl.
Off season, she’s about 20 pounds heavier and much more womanly.
Don’t you worry she eats, she’s a big donut fan.

I spent a lot more time photoshopping the second one to give it a dreamier quality.
I’ve been reconsidering using the female form to sell sauce based on the fact that there are a tonnne of female sauce consumers. Mrs. Ryan has made me think about being fair to both genders.
That being said, check back tonight Mrs. R, I should have a little treat for you and the other ladies out there.

Cheffy,
I’m glad you like Uncle Big’s Beauties. Just a little hobby of mine that’s a distraction from the everyday.
Your wife has nothing to worry about, no banning necessary. We’ll keep it PG-13………………for now..:-)

actually Uncle Big, I am not offended in any way, women should be used to seeing this kind of thing, I just like giving the guys on here poop someone has to do it, or we’d all drown in their drool

The idea of a producer calendar was brought up before, I think it would be funny as Hell. I have already chosen a couple really nasty Superfund sites in the swamps of the Meadowlands for my backdrops.

I think it would be great!! I just don’t want Uncle Big getting the impression that I am freaking out about his advertising, quite honestly I think he is pretty smart, way more men are into this than women so to catch that market half naked women are the way to go. I think it’s cool as hell that he is willing to do what he can to make the women happy too, That says alot about his character.

Mrs. Ryan,
No worries about wrong impressions and I don’t think you’re freaking out, not in the least.
My wife keeps me grounded and cogniscent of everyone’s concerns and sensibilities and we have had many chats about that recently. Man I love her. If it wasn’t for her I don’t know where I’d be. Prison probably, or even worse, working for the goverment and not selling hot sauce, God forbid!
Sex sells for sure, but it doesn’t always have to be a one sided affair, a sausage festival as they call it, now does it?
Chicks dig hot sauce too (buying and selling both) and chicks (most, not necessarily all) dig dudes, so I should strive to appeal to everyone, shouldn’t I
Like I said, I have an ad mockup that has a Hot Sauce Hunk in it, and I’ll send it to Nick tonight. Stay tuned…….
- Big

I think I like your wife Big I am looking forward to that pic I am glad your not in Prison…..I don’t think they allow hot sauce there

Not to knock on any ads cause Im sure they do help to sell product.
They “at least” draw viewer’s to the site and increase traffic, there-by increasing revene. (from added sauce sales or advertising $)

Im just not so sure that an attractive person (man or woman) posing with a bottle of hot sauce makes you want to buy that product. Sure it will get noticed, but maybe not in that way. Step it up a notch and set the scene with a bunch of “attrative-young” people having an awesome time at a “get-together” (involving food), using the sauce, and enjoying it. You know sauce=good times! Yep, the beer ads do this quite well.

I dont see a connection between a body and a bottle of hot sauce…its missing something. Sex-sells, but sometimes its what you dont see that sells more.

I think with any advertising it’s hard to include everyone or make the product appealing enough to buy. Beer commercials make it seem like their brand of beer will make for a better time, but to people like me, no amount of advertising for any beer or alcohol will make me go out and buy it, I am not a drinker, as for hot sauce, with or without a hot girl/guy if I like the taste, the label or bottle that is the best advertisement to me, however I am only one person. I am also very biased about what I eat or collect, so maybe my opinion isn’t the best one.

Step it up a notch and set the scene with a bunch of “attrative-young” people having an awesome time at a “get-together” (involving food), using the sauce, and enjoying it. You know sauce=good times! Yep, the beer ads do this quite well.

I dont see a connection between a body and a bottle of hot sauce…its missing something. Sex-sells, but sometimes its what you dont see that sells more.

Kang, what you’re saying is so very true, but sometimes you try new things and test the waters with something new.

I’m a photographer by training and am trying to incorporate my visually creative side with my culinary exploits.
I shoot a lot of models throughout the course of the year for whatever reason (marketing, portfolio, website, for the hell of it) and most of the time I try to envision a hot sauce ad using those images. Most times it just doesn’t click.
Beer companies has taken the “things are better with product
XYZ” to a new level. Look at the Kaluha commercial for instance. You know the one that has all the pretty people roasting marshmallows around fire. It makes no sense to me. If someone jammed their flaming marshmallow into my beverage, I’d flatten their nose for them. I think it’s a dumb idea, but what the hell do I know.

Print ads for us are fairly stale and safe because of where we advertise. Chili Pepper, Fiery Foods Mag, etc don’t have a lot of skin inside their pages, and I don’t see that changing. But a product poster or flyer inside a hot sauce store with an attractive model on it along with the product will leave an impression however superficial. That coupled with a good product, you may lead to a new customer. Any publicity is good publicity when you are marketing something, most of the time. Unless they find a finger in one of your bottles, then that’s not so good.

These pics that Nick has so graciously posted for me are for the hot sauce hottie theme and probably will end there.

My sauce sells because of the ingredients and taste and I know which side my bread is buttered on. Crappy sauce can have amazing packaging and you might get the initial sale based on packaging, but repeat customers, like let’s say Mrs. Ryan come back for seconds and beyond because they like what they taste.

I say quality of product will always win the race, but having nice scenery along the way makes it all that much better.

I think with any advertising it’s hard to include everyone or make the product appealing enough to buy. Beer commercials make it seem like their brand of beer will make for a better time, but to people like me, no amount of advertising for any beer or alcohol will make me go out and buy it, I am not a drinker, as for hot sauce, with or without a hot girl/guy if I like the taste, the label or bottle that is the best advertisement to me, however I am only one person. I am also very biased about what I eat or collect, so maybe my opinion isn’t the best one.

Mrs. Ryan,
You and I are in the same boat sister!!

I remain impervious to beer commercials as I quit drinking about 5 years ago. It was either quit, or go pro, if you know what I mean. I was getting way to good at it, and seeing as it isn’t a recognized sport at the actual Olympics, it was time to hang up my shot glasses!!

Although, am I now addicted to Diet Coke, so which is better scerosis of the liver or early onset Alzheimers from the aspartame? Time will only tell. LOL

Therefore and for that reason, the Budweiser chicks or whichever chosen form of titilating advertising is popular may get my motor running, but they won’t get me to pick up a 24 pack and head back to the cabin for any reason whatsoever.

For me, cool packaging might catch my eye, but I need bang for my buck and quality for my Canadian dollar. I’ve got a lot of sub par sauces in my collection with very cool labels but mediocre sauce inside the bottle. That makes me mad.

But I’m with ya fer sure on this one.

Uncle Big, I think the type of thing these models would work well with would be with promotion items, such as mouse pads, clocks, calendars, t-shirts, etc. I manage an auto repair shop and the tool vendors (Mac, Matco, etc.) always have items like these on the trucks. Really has nothing to do with tools, but their brand name next to a hot bod does wonders for name recognition. It doesn’t make me want to buy their tools, but it helps with remembering the brand name when it comes time to buy the tools. First name that pops in my head is who I am calling first.

Agreed Uncle Big.

Its nice to see, but I dont think its gonna “win-em-all” over. Hot Sauce Advertising in general is not main-stream (yet) unless you count Tabasco. Their ads are starting to “push the envelople” a bit and appeal to a broader crowd. Hot sauce in general is still underground with most of society saying “you like what?, Thats insane, or Oh, I cant handle Tabasco, its too hot” Its appreciated that you can take it to a new level, with some eye-catching ads, but if you step it up a bit (not as much skin) you could push this whole “hot sauce thing” more into the mainstream. Hell, Id love to see a TV ad for something other then Tabasco. Have there ever been any? Thats a finish line to reach first, isnt it?

I for one was just pointing out that no matter how “good” an ad (body) is to look at, it doesnt necessarily make me need to own that sauce. But you will at least get the props for it.

To sell hot sauce you do need “the ingredients and taste” to get them to come”back for seconds and beyond because they like what they taste” Afterall, you will sell a “joke” sauce once, but get em hooked, and you have to work twice as hard to keep up.

DK,
That’s the plan buddy.
My dad still has Snap On calendars from 20 years ago, and yes, product branding in that environment is done with eye candy, no doubt.
I’m thinking posters or calendars something along those lines. I’m way too ham fisted to sign bottles for customers, but I can definitely scratch my John Hancock onto a calendar. It’s a good giveaway product idea. A constant visual reminder of your favorite sauce, that works.
Hell of an idea, don’t you think??

just to add to DK’s thought, catchy jingles will make you remember stuff too, another of those, who i think of first i am calling things.

Aw, she has pretty lips. But she’s too skinny. Women aren’t supposed to have bodies like young boys. I like a woman that looks like she can have a pork rib and some corn bread as a good night snack.

Hey, have you been picking in my windows?

Yes, I do wear a helmet while I am awake. What a dork I am. I meant “peeking” not “picking”.
