 Spry:
A poker
entrepeneur named Jeremy Enke has successfully
closed a deal with Golden Palace to play
poker dressed in a Pink Bunny Suit at this
years World Series of Poker Main Event.
Golden Palace placed a winning
bid of $15,100.00 to employ the bunnies
services, you can see the actual ebay pink
poker bunny auction here.
For the past few years Jeremy has spent
his time promoting online
poker and in that time he has become
one of the most successful poker
affiliates on the planet.
He said that the idea to play poker dressed
in a pink bunny suit actually came up over
a friendly home game he was playing with
some of his friends. You can imagine the
setting, a bunch of friends, a couple of
beers (ok, maybe more than a couple) and
a "What would you do for a million
bucks"...
Long story short the idea hit him to actually
give it a shot... so he put his plan into
action and the response has been excellent.
"The more I thought about it,
the more I realized that it could actually
be a huge marketing opportunity for someone’s
company if promoted correctly."
And the pink bunny poker auction was born.
Actually, the original pink
bunny poker ebay auction Jeremy put
up was probably more for personal exposure
and to draw traffic to his most recent website
aimed at Poker Affiliates, called Poker
Affiliate World as it had a very high
reserve and come on... who is really going
to pay someone to play poker dressed in
a bunny suit?
Then Golden Palace Poker comes knocking!
Golden Palace is famous for their outrageous
marketing strategies - they recently paid
a Tennessee Mother around
$11,000 to officially change her name to
GoldenPalace.com, they paid $28,000 to buy
a Grilled Cheese sandwich
with the image of the Virgin Mary on it,
and they recently purchased the rights to
name a newly discovered species
of Monkey discovered in Borneo...
why not the pink bunny?
As the winners of this auction, GoldenPalace.com
will have Jeremy sitting in a pink bunny
suit playing poker in the televised main
event at the World
Series of Poker. He will display “GoldenPalace.com”
on his pink bunny suit as well as any other
place on his body. Anywhere he goes in Las
Vegas throughout the entire week of the
tournament, he will be wearing his suit.
The Pink Bunny will be making appearances
at all the big card rooms and several night
clubs throughout the week.
“We
believe the media attention will be huge,”
said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe.
“On the surface, people will think
we’re crazy for paying $15,000 for
a man in a pink bunny outfit, but given
the popularity of the event and the outrageous
nature of the sponsorship we know we will
get our money’s worth. We wish Jeremy
the best of luck in the tournament.”
