"Euphorie beim bezahlen"?
Seriously? Has anyone, in the history of money, been "euphoric" to pay something?
I mean, I'm happy we face PayPal, but couldn't it have been a Lil less dumb?
They were trying to incorporate a word starting with EU. ไนโ (โ ย โ โขโ _โ โขโ ย โ )โ ใ
lol ok. But it doesn't better the ad :-)
Rubs nose with thumb and index finger
"No, Greg, we don't like your alternative "Euter des Bezahlens" better. It actually makes us question if this industry is the right one for you."
Honestly I'm happy anytime i can pay back a colleague with wero instead of PayPal. And when i finished the wero setup i was so excited to immediately try it with a friend. It's not the euphoria of paying but the euphoria of not having to use PayPal or MasterCard
Aye. That indeed. I'd say that too, sadly not had the "joy" of using it yet. But good that I could.
Surely someone in the history of money has felt euphoric while paying a pimp or a dealer.
But on a serious note, I suppose the person who made this is privileged enough not to be thinking of how expensive groceries are now.
Euhporic for the reason of paying the pimp or dealer, not necessarily paying itself ๐
And yes, point taken...
Actually I saw two different ones. This one says something like: It (already) clicked at 55 million (people).
Saw this yesterday at a train station.
Good they are raising awareness for Wero. Only about 4 in 10 people (in germany) did know what Wero is used for (Source: www.tagesspiegel.de)
That sounds way better ๐
You engaged with it.
The point of advertising is to make an impression and it did with you
Unless I'm absolutely not in the target demographic to "pay things", that isn't really their desired outcome to just have "engaged with me".
Besides i never see ads at all. And outside I just ignore them.
