Election 2012


     The Presidential Election is not the only election that is happening this year!  You can also go online and cast your vote in the race between Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong Charmin brand toilet paper.  These days every major and lesser holiday is used by the marketing world to add a cosumeristic slant to the day.  From Presidential Elections to President’s Day, sales and deals can be found throughout the country enticing people to come in and spend their money, when really what does President’s Day have to do getting the best deal on a new car? Initially it may seem like sales such as “Back to School” sales are a good idea- helping families to get their children the necessary school supplies, however “Back to School Sales” have surpassed simply school supplies and moved into all markets including cars (Why would a student need to shop for a new car for back to school?).  These constant sales and gimmicks are designed to draw people in and in reality have very little to do with the actual holiday, however it appears that these gimmicks and sales have been very effective because they definitely encourage people to buy and get the word out about their products.  
     So don’t forget to cast your vote in the Charmin Ultra Election as well as in the Presidential Election this coming election season!
