Abstract

The world is going mad!

  • An airline gives away two million free seats…

  • Need a new car? No problem, you get one free when you arrange a new mortgage.3

  • Going into hospital? How about choosing your own room decoration, including the artwork to hang in your room? Didn’t you know improving the Customer Experience makes patients heal faster?4

  • How can a public library with a city population of 52,000 people be attracting 3500 people a day?5

  • Would you like a Chilly Willie (an ice cream)? The natural place to get one is a hi-fi specialist!6

  • Would you like to fly a MiG jet? What about being a zookeeper? Or how about driving a rally car? These can be bought in a box at your local store: it’s one of the highest growth retail sectors.7

  • Would you like to drink water from a 23,000-year-old glacier? Buy it in a bottle: it’s more convenient that way!8

  • How about getting married somewhere unusual? What about honeymooning at an Ice Hotel9 that is constructed each year entirely from ice?
