Default New AD for work

Hi guys, I work for a hydraulics company and I need to come up with a new ad about hydraulic manifolds.

The new manifolds are a heap smaller (about 1/2 size), dont leak and are new to the australian market. I was going to go sexual innuendo and say "Its not the size that counts" at the top of the ad, and "its how you use it" at the bottom.

What ideas do you reckon, here is the pics.





The above image is the new version, im stumped as to what to run with this ad. As you can see the bottom one has less drillings and has no plugs.

Bigger doesnt mean better
Good things come in small packages
now 1/2 the size and no plugs means no leaks

when size matters - ill use a pic of a good looking chick in it.....

Bigger doesnt mean better, its smaller but we figured out a better way to use it :

Ok a serious one
"To some people size matters"
"But others expect performance"
-no leaks
-smaller size and lighter weight
-better flow

ill still put a hot bird on the ad to grab peoples attention, most people in the industry are blokes.

What do you think?

Less now equals more More

When you work out the benifits of using this new technically superior manifold the result will always be

Less down time = More time to devote to running your business


Hey does it cost more than a regular manifold???

I would guess with a 5 or more axis CNC mill.

yes the new manifold is 5 axis

we are the sole distributor in australia for SUN, who make this manifold
to my knowledge there is only one other company in australia using this technology.

we also have a CNC mill here for making aluminium manifolds

the pricing is similar to regular manifolds

Petesv8 if you want to see our other brands goto

Fantastic place to live / work.
I immigrated to QLD for work and was there for 3 years.
Unfortunately due to family reasons returned to Sunny VIC.

I have worked in the hydraulics industy for 15 years (never in competition to you!!)

I am still trying to work out what the block is for!
