Let's Sell Some sh## To These Millennials

You need to hand out t-shirts with this printed on them:

 Less than one tenth of one percent of all tweets are about sandwich bags. Let that sink in. Nobody is tweeting about bags.

I have to save that link somewhere where I can wheel it out every time a stupid social media campaign idea comes out. BTW Gurtie - I did social media for a while for someone selling legal malpractice insurance. Yeah, that sh## when viral all the time. Followers grew exponentially once we realized that with the right angle, most lawyers just love following legal malpractice insurance industry news.

One month after the launch, we halt production of the Swag Bag. The kids will demand it back. We’ll invite a Vice reporter to Hardwick headquarters, and blame the stoppage on the vindictive briefcase industry. That’ll make sense to millennials immediately.

It's so easy to blame the vindictive briefcase industry. Works every time.

Wouldn't that be 200 million tweets a year?

Yes, but 40% of the tweets about sandwich bags are from bots.
