I have always wondered if that often used marketing ploy of ‘as seen on TV’ actually works and if it does, just what does it take so that you can use the phrase ‘as seen on TV’?

Well, here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear, we now have the chance to use that slogan in our advertising because one of our ads has actually been seen on TV.

Whilst this is a very tenuous link and I have to say that were stretching it a bit - never the less, one of our recent adverts was actually seen on TV.

The programme was Look North, where Paul the Weatherman did an article on the Huddersfield Examiner going from an evening paper to a morning paper after over 150 years of tradition.

During the article, the production crew visited a Huddersfield newsagents to see the first Examiners hit the street at 5am in the morning.

It just so happens that Laurie Hopkins Menswear had a strip advert on the bottom of the front page and so, as the camera zoomed in on the stack of Huddersfield Examiners on display, the Laurie Hopkins Menswear advert was clearly shown to anyone who saw the article.

There you have it, Laurie Hopkins Menswear - as seen on TV!

Just in case you missed it, you can watch us again by
