LOL!! Honda goofs up big time. Hilarious - Team-BHP

So Honda distributes about 1.2 million brochures in the USA, that cover their 2006 models. The brochure has a toll free number that customers can call to know more about Automotive safety. Butttttttttttttttttt instead of the real 1-888 number, Honda mistakenly printed the brochures with a 1-800 number.

The 1-800 number belonged to a .....uhhum....phone sex organisation.

Imagine a customer calling and asking to know about safety. Or more power!

LOL.. maybe Honda's looking into improving customer "SATISFACTION".....

asad7874 · 4th August 2006, 11:41

This is really strange. 1.2 million brochures in circulation and nobody noticed it until now.

Shan2nu · 4th August 2006, 11:41

Something tells me, Honda is gonna be No 1 in "Customer Service" this year. Hahaha

Hahahaha Real hilarious!!!!!!

For sale or for rent?

Sideways · 4th August 2006, 14:59

Guess the term - "Pickup Service" has been redifined by Honda.

islero · 4th August 2006, 17:32

LMAO This is amazing!!!! How could they possibly make such a stupid mistake??? It really beats me....

Joz · 4th August 2006, 18:20

Imagine the phone sex company printing Honda's number in their communication. I am sure Honda would have more calls coming in this way than having the numbers on their own fliers. Maybe i should recommend this to some of my clients!

Mpower · 4th August 2006, 19:00

I have a feeling someone inside HOnda or the ad company has pulled a prank.

R32_GTR · 4th August 2006, 20:33

This is one of the worst marketing #$%#ups ever...

I would hate to be in the guys shoes who was incharge of approving the final draft an other colaterals......

I can almost see some guy cutting his thumb under a piece of cloth and offering it to the Honda BOD's as forgiveness....
