Giant Couch Promotes New Debit Card

This morning at New York City’s Grand Central Vanderbuilt Hall, Bank of America held an event to promote its new debit card product, “Keep the Change,” which rounds up purchases to the nearest dollar and places it in a saving account for the card holder. To attract attention to the new card, a gigantic, 20 foot long, 10 foot high sofa was placed in the Hall where people could climb on and reach beneath the cushions to find prizes such as MetroCards, Starbucks cards, restaurant gift certificates, retailer gift certificates and Apple store discounts.

This promotion, created by Jack Morton, aligns quite well with the whole money-stuck-under-the-couch-cushion thing. More photos to follow.

Sociologist Charles Derber’s research on what he called conversational narcissism found that constantly steering a conversation back to yourself, even with something as small as “that reminds me of the time I—,” quietly starves the other person of the attention their story needed.
