I've noticed more websites use an image of a pretty lady on their website to "attract visitors".

Are customers that shallow that a pretty lady makes them think "duhh ok their product makes me feel good somehow, me sign up now!" ?

or do you think its stupid/ irrelevant.

Sex sells doesn't it? but what does it have to do with broadband?
 
Short dude i do not know how old you are or your back round but females can sell anything dude. If you are walking in your local mall and you spot some really hot chick do you not stare at her and think o yea!!!!!!!! anytime!!!!!! are you really that shallow?

Sexy females sell shyte and have done so for many many years and will do so for many many more years :D.
 
I'm not sure having a picture of an ugly man would help sales much. I think the majority of people shopping for broadband would be more appreciative of a pretty lady on the cover. If it works for tech magazines, I'm sure it works for tech businesses.

Doesn't say much for the species, but we are what we are.
 
It's called marketing, dude. Nothing wrong with some eye candy whilst shopping. Did you see the shots of the Axxess babes at the Pro20 cricket matches on the Supersport coverage in March. Sign me up with Axxess, quick!
 
:) ah mankind really hasn't progressed very far LOL

but it's good to know if I ever need to market something - I'll just dawn my website with a pretty lady (or puppy?)
 
And you expect mankind to progress past sex :confused: Not gonna happen anytime soon.
 
It's stupid and irrelevant to the product, but the thing is you would rather see a hot chick than a phatt hoodrat selling stuff :p

No, it doesn't work for me. I go for the product, not the pretty girl in the ad.

Sales noob :p Of course it does. As shameful as most folks would think, men are either attracted or at least respectful to a beautiful women. We're wired that way :D It's nasty but sadly true.
 
Well axxess for example..
You have no clue about internet, then this is you:

Nothing. /thread

For real lulz have a look at F1 ads shown before F1 races over the years. They used to show cars racing. Next they threw in some pit girls. Latest one is 100% girls with a single shot of a car...in the background and its not even an F1 car.
