Whacky way to market OTM – but might one get sent to the Tower?

| Rosalind Renshaw

If this doesn’t brighten this wintry Monday morning, we’re not sure what might do the trick.

Here is the latest, and certainly the whackiest, in promotional material for OnTheMarket.

    I had to think for a minute to check that it wasn't April 1st.

    Another example as to why Estate Agents shouldn't be allowed anywhere near photoshop!

    Great fun! A great way to generate some positive publicity and a very good idea. I wish I had the imagination or the courage to do the same!

    I have to say amusing though it may be, I think if this is being used widely they are implying that these people endorse OTM which I think will get them in all sort of trouble. Bad idea chaps.

    The Queens image is copyrighted, any image not just on currency, you can't use it in any creative content. Stupid idea and likely to get the person/people responsible a stiff letter in the post very soon.

      I think you will find it still carries accommodation in "The Tower".

        Under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968, it is illegal “in the course of any trade or business” to give “false indication” that any goods or services are “approved by Her Majesty”.

    May as well given pictures and crayons to a toddler…… Never ceases to amaze me when we are suppose to be experts at marketing there are still some in the industry they know very little about protecting a brand or how best to portray it.

    One more evidence that Estate-agents in the whole of UK have not for 1min thought "what about the consumer" and kept throwing sand in there own eyes by thinking that being on either RightMove or Zoopla would solve anything and consumers would just flock over to OTM on the 26th of Jan?

    Online agents are having a laugh now and stealing your stock!
