Would a pizza encourage you to get a vasectomy…

Companies often offer incentives to encourage people to sign up for their products or services.

BOGOF is a term that’s well known in marketing circles.

It stands for “Buy One Get One Free” and as the phrase implies it is a sales promotion encouraging people to buy a product or service. If they pay for one they’ll get the other one free.

In a somewhat unusual approach to promoting a particular service, a doctor in Massachusetts in America is currently offering a free pizza with every vasectomy.

Now, call me old fashioned but the decision as to whether or not you get a vasectomy should in my opinion be driven by other factors other than the offer of a free Spicy Meat Feast Deep Pan Pizza.

Evan Cohen, the manager of Urology Associates who are offering the promotion was quoted as saying that March is the most popular month for vasectomy operations.

Apparently the Spring weather offers a more comfortable recovery period than other months and also for sports lovers March has what is known as “March Madness” when the NCAA’s college basketball tournament takes place. This tournament features 68 basketball games on television throughout the day and evening for most of March.

So, there you go. Who needs a BOGOF promotion as what better incentive can there be to have a vasectomy done that sitting at home with your feet up watching basketball and eating a free pizza??
