Richner is Switzerlands second leading seller for kitchens and bathrooms. 
To inform the public about the openings of their two new stores we created
two promotions:

Get married in the new showroom “Volketswil” 
and you get a free bathroom.

Or get married in the new showroom “Etoy” 
and you get a free kitchen.

To promote these events we produced the a tv campaign.
In the same time we run the radio campaign “Weekend Date”, a fictional radio format.
The radiospots broadcasted callers who were looking for someone to marry 
on the spot instead of having a date.

       Rüdiger:          «It’s Rüdiger and I just want to say that it’s absolutely

                               someone you’ve never seen. That would never work out.»
       Showmaster:   «One mo. (gets interrupted again)»
       Rüdiger:          «What do you mean with “one mo-” ?!? 
                               Marriage is a holy thing! Please!»
       Showmaster:   «One moment, one moment, Rüdiger.
                               This is just a dating show. But in the last few days, 
                               more and more people want to marry because you 
                               get a free bathrooom when you do that.»

       Rüdiger:          «Okay. And where is that?»

Finally, on the day of all days, the grand opening of the new showroom “Volketswil” 
23 lovely couples showed up to marry for a new bathroom.

And here are the big winners.
