How can I sell a company my idea for advertising their product?

Asked by girlofscience (7567points) January 17th, 2009

Okay, I’m not usually one for having ridiculous, unrealistic business propositions (I am well on my way to a normal career, and I don’t need this), but I just happened to come up with an absolutely fantastic advertisement idea for a reputable product I use and love.

I’ve seen their commercials, and they don’t have anything going for them. Their product is spectacular, but hardly any women I know even use it because they’re not known enough. The company certainly has the money because they advertise on prime-time TV, but their commercials just aren’t catchy enough.

I have come up with a catchy jingle that is very specific to their product alone and would stick in the head of every woman during a certain time of need!!! If they changed their commercial to include my jingle, their sales would skyrocket.

I have no business knowledge whatsoever, and I don’t know how to go about selling my jingle idea to the company. How do I contact them and have them take my idea seriously without telling them what it is before they sign a contract that they will pay me if they use it?
