Today is international Talk like a Pirate day. Not exactly the type of event that makes the world stop, but a good enough reason for creative marketers to have a little fun while promoting business.
Both Krisy Kreme and Long John Silver's took to Twitter to create a buzz about their pirate offerings (#TLAPD).
Krispy Kreme in Portland, Beaverton and Vancouver gave a FREE doughnut to customers who talk like a pirate. In some cases customers who dressed like pirates were rewarded with a dozen FREE doughnuts.
Long John Silver's simply required a half decent "ARRR" from customers to receive a FREE piece of fish.
Now if only the Rum manufacturers would see the brilliance of this marketing opportunity ;-)
