Westside

Whenever I watch Star One, there is an advertisement that really amuses me and I would like to share my thoughts with those who visit my blog

The ad is of Westside. I am sure all of you who love to shop (especially women) would have heard of Westside.

The ad begins with
A sweet looking girl browsing through clothes, looking quite sad. The sales assistant asks her if she needs any help. She says no thank you and moves on. The sales assistant decides to increase the volume of the music playing in the background to cheer her mood.

The beats start and so does her head movement. She has finally got into the mood and starts trying out different types of clothes. Each time she comes out of the trial room and dances with different styled clothes.

Finally all the sales staff start clapping. The girl turns around and sees the team watching her.

This is WESTSIDE ad.

My Comments
No customers at Westside, I presume. All the sales staff were watching the girl getting into the trial room, trying out an outfit and dancing.
OR
Perhaps they all decided to take a break at the same time for some live entertainment and make the Managers do the sales work for a change.
OR
Westside has way too many staff and hence there are about 10-15 of them who have ample amount of time to watch their customers every move.

My Suggestion
Please visit Westside and let me know if this is still happening (post the ad).

Well i thought u knew the golden rule "Never Ever try and make sense out of indian ads or for that matter soaps or movies (especially if it has a thing called as Govinda".

These ads are made for us to understand the underlying and global meaning (whatever that means) and not to be taken literally.

So Ms. Pires next time u watch an ad / soap opera, remember to switch off the button called as Brain.

Havent spoken to u for a long time..hope we can share our thoughts here...
