重金聘丑女 。1927年2月14日，汉口民国日报报道，法国巴黎芝利亚兄弟化妆品公司，曾于1926年7月在巴黎日日新闻上刊登一则别出心裁的广告，题为重金聘丑女。广告词大意是：凡自信长相最丑之本市少女，如能到本公司谈话一小时者，本公司愿付20法郎作为报酬。经过谈话后，若双方都感到满意者，本公司即以重金聘用。这一广告传开后，很快就有10余名丑女前去应征，公司从中挑选了2名最丑者予以重金聘用。三个星期后，芝利亚兄弟化妆品公司又登出广告宣布：丑女已选定，将于某星期六晚上在巴黎大舞台与公众见面，届时还有苏俄女子跳舞,华人音乐助兴。消息传开，激起了人们好奇心理，竞相准备赴会。到了那天晚上，当大幕徐徐拉开之后，两位丑女登台，果然其丑无比，观众议论纷纷。两位丑女做了简单的自我介绍之后，公司总经理芝利亚出台讲话。他说：此次聘请丑女登台，目的是为了让大家看看本公司所生产之化妆品的功效。请诸位稍候，我们到后台为两位丑女化妆片刻，然后再与观众见面。观众们等了一会儿，只见在舞,乐相伴下，台上款款走出刚才亮过相的两位少女，面涂脂粉，可谓旧貌换新颜，在灯光照耀下，虽不敢说光彩照人，但的确漂亮了许多。观众们大为叹服，啧啧称奇。从此，这家化妆品公司名声大振，产品畅销，使那些惯于用美女做广告的同行们自叹弗如。（蒋光宇）大道理：这个广告的成功之处，就在于引起了公众的好奇和关注，进而创造了直线上升的销售量。小故事大道理全集
