One-Cent Hotel Rooms in Venice

Posted by Miss Cellania in Advertising, Travel & Places on August 15, 2009 at 7:13 pm

An advertising mistake will costs thousands of euros for the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Venice, Italy. An online advertisement posted a room price as one-hundredth of a euro per night instead of 150 euros ($213). Before the ad was changed, 230 people booked 1,400 room nights at that price.

The company say the mistake was made at the offices of IHG in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States.

“Although a pricing error, IHG is committed to honouring the 1-cent rate for guests who have a valid confirmation,” the hotel group’s Monica Smith said.

The total cost of the mistake could be 90,000 euros (or $128,000). Link -via Digg

Face Detection Camera Ad

Posted by Miss Cellania in Advertising on December 22, 2008 at 11:13 pm


Face detection technology is a popular feature in digital cameras. Nikon’s latest ad campaign focuses on the feature, bragging that the Nikon S60 can detect up to 12 faces. The ad are both funny and creepy! The other two at LA Weekly are even creepier than this one. Link -Thanks, Erin Broadley!

This has got to be one of the funniest advertisement trailer I’ve seen in a while. Notice of the baby’s facial expressions. Hilarious!
