This SurFURS Calender Features Cute Surfing Dogs
SurFURS, the surf dog calender for the year 2011, features a few cute and lovable dogs, showing off their surfing skills on the waves.

Implications - One of the fastest ways a company can generate attention for its products is by investing in marketing that is heavily relies on slapstick images or novelty. By luring consumers with comedic potential right off the bat, the company draws the eyes of consumers who view their work as entertainment first and advertising second. This allows the company to embed a positive and happy image in the subconscious of consumers.
