Kids and commercials

Recently I ve heard this same commercial over and over for a local pumpkin patch. It is the granddaughter of the owners. She is a sweet talking little girl and it grabs my attention every time. I am so impressed with her speaking I d love to see the pumpkin patch. It really draws one in and makes me curious to go visit. This is my idea of a successful ad. I have found however that a lot of times people will use family and friends just to be putting them in the ad and it does not work. A local car dealership used their daughter and it was so irritating not at all the type of exposure I would want for my business. It was just too cutesy. Corny as well. There are times when you would be better off not to use kids even if they are cute and adorable. And lets not get me started on animals.....but I do love the geico gecko. He is great as are the kia hamsters....love the dancing hams.
