How low tech can still make money by being different.

Some internet marketing ideas really take off, there is a brilliant video doing the rounds on Google+ and the rest of social media.  For a low tech product too.

It has had over 2 million hits on You Tube in 4 days.

Why is it different? Watch the video and see for yourself.

Some what offensive, down to earth, logical, humorous, different, it is all of that.

As a baby boomer who started shaving with the old Gillete blue, it certainly appeals to me. A few years ago, I found that I could no longer buy twin razor blades for my expensive metal razor. I was reluctant to buy another expensive razor and find that it also became obsolete after a short while when the newest 5 blade, self powered, GPS controlled model was launched.

I started using cheap 2 blade disposable razors that cost pennies. One razor lasts me over a month, can’t get much cheaper shaving than that.

So when these guys start shipping to Canada, I might just give them a try.

Nice concept and nice advertising, their business should fly.

Wishing you success in all your endeavours.
