ELBLAG (POLAND) - A quite unusual promotional campaign. One hour's worth of free sex in a neighbouring brothel is the prize offered by a large builder's merchant store in Elblag, a town in northern Poland, for regular customers, every time they spend at least 10 thousand zloty (2.500 euros). So reports the newspaper Zycie Warszawy. The store owner, Roman Myszko, told the newspaper that thus far almost nobody has claimed the prize.
Legal experts interviewed by the newspaper claim that, whether or not anyone took up the offer, Myszko is in danger of a charge of pimping. He, however, sees nothing indecent about his idea. "Business has been going from bad to worse for the last three years," the salesman explained, "so I am trying several new promotional techniques." Long before this new idea, he had offered a free beer from another neighbouring shop to anyone spending at least 100 zloty (25 euros).

If anything, he's enterprising.

Except so far his ideas don't seem to work.
