Premium crackers

Right now I think brand loyalty is more important than ever. Saltines are the type of product that a consumer will buy the store brand if they are trying to save money.

Best Buy

I was looking at the earlier version of this and was a little horrified. I was thinking a website is able to react, it is able  make recommendations, and one could even say it can create a sense of concern. Maybe, IDK. I was trying to find something on the Best Buy site that this employee could offer that it couldn't. Then I remembered my dad talking about how he hates making big purchases on the computer, and I knew had an audience. (There's at least a group of people out there who are still resisting making online purchases.) I then thought about the bright lights BB has, the music, and all the new technology. I get pretty excited when I'm in a store and know I'm going to make some kind of purchase.

So my solution became to create/remind/encourage the reader to pursue that feeling.

Don't ask me why there's a huge white space in the middle. This is why I want to write copy and not be an art director. I really don't like how this looks, auugghh I don't know if this is such a good idea.
For whatever reason this looked interesting to me. I think its that the size and nature of the typeface floating in space reads like a kid's voice.

Reese's Puffs

This is part of an ongoing idea I've had for close to a year now.  The idea is to make eating kids cereal an acceptable practice at work. It's just been a nut I can't crack, and I'm at the point where I've tried probably five different directions. It's fun though. Should I just let it go? Any feedback would be awesome. Thanks.
