The company was created and founded by Suzy Batiz in 2007 with just $20,000 of initial capital. In the decade since its inception, Poo-Pourri has sold more than 22 million spray bottles and is currently valued at over $300 million USD! The company’s success and immense popularity are the direct results of its creative marketing content and its effective use of social media platforms to convey its brand. Poo-Pourri does not consider bowel movements to be taboo subject matter, but rather markets itself as a company that views defecation as a normal bodily function — one that should be celebrated and even parodied! Social Media Presence and Analysis Poo-Pourri’s immensely popular scatological marketing campaigns use “cheeky” humour and witty puns to make light of a traditionally taboo subject. For the last decade, the company has predominantly marketed its products to women between the ages of 18-49. Poo-Pourri uses a variety of social media platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter, in addition to its website blog. • The company has amassed an impressive 183,507 followers and 186,337 likes on Facebook over the last decade and generates a tremendous amount of user interaction with its posts. • Over the course of October 2017, the company posted a total of 43 times on its Facebook page. These posts have since yielded an average of 329 likes or reactions, 59 shares, and 25 comments. • Poo-Pourri caters to the older portion of its target audience (31-49) quite effectively on Facebook with a variety of posts that range from product advertisements to funny customer reviews, witty toilet aphorisms and humorous brand-related third- party content. 3 • Poo-Pourri has 15,500 Twitter followers and has tweeted over 9,000 times. • The company does not generate much traffic with its Twitter content and rarely gets more than 10 likes or retweets per post. • Nevertheless, Twitter remains an excellent platform for Poo-Pourri to conduct its customer service as the company can interact instantly (and privately, if need be) with consumers on it. • Poo-Pourri has 15,500 Instagram followers and has posted on the platform more than 1,800 times. • An average Poo-Pourri post promoting one of its own sprays tends to generate between 50-300 likes. • However, any video post that features the company’s spokeswoman, Bethany Woodruff, generates the most interest. • Woodruff’s two most recent videos have been liked a total of 5,603 times. • Instagram is an effective platform for Poo-Pourri because 59% of its users are female and between the ages of 18-29. • Its layout also allows the company to promote its products by displaying them in attractive photos. • The company has released 27 videos on its YouTube channel, where it has amassed 83,000 subscribers. • For the most part, these videos are immensely popular and tend to feature company spokesperson, Bethany Woodruff. • Poo-Pourri’s first video, “Girls Don’t Poop”, is by far its most watched commercial, amassing 39 million views. However, the company has also had success with its three “How to Poop” videos, which have garnered a total of 13.7 million views. 4 • Poo-Pourri also created a series of sixteen-second “#SaveYourRelationshits” commercials, but these have not generated nearly as many views as the above- mentioned videos. • Poo-Pourri has 2,947 followers on Pinterest and uses the platform rather effectively to promote interest in its brand and its products. • The company has created a number of brand-related boards on its Pinterest page. • Two of its most popular boards are “Deep Sh*t”, which features bathroom quotes, adages, and aphorisms, and “Shits and Giggles”, a board for crass scatological jokes and limericks. • Poo-Pourri also has boards for fashion tips, toilet-related arts and crafts activities, and all of its spray products. • Poo-Pourri also started a blog on its website this year, called “Throne Diaries”. The blog is divided into five sections: 1) “Bathroom 2.0”, a section of aesthetically-pleasing and, sometimes futuristic, bathroom photos; 2) “Give a Crap”, the company’s outreach and fundraising platform; 3) “It’s Only Natural”, a section devoted to the fecal sciences; 4) “Under the Lid”, a blog that allows the customer to learn more about the company’s executives; and, 5) “Uninhibited Fun”, a section full of interesting and witty bathroom-related content. 5 Breakdown of Social Media Followers by Platform: Followers by Platform Pinterest 1% Twitter 5% YouTube 28% Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube Pinterest Facebook Instagram 61% 5% 6 Examples of Poo-Pourri’s Most Effective Social Media Content (Facebook/Dec. 13th: “Poop the Potato” post — 824 likes; (Facebook/Nov. 16th: “Stormtrooper Pooper” — 925 likes; hundreds of comments) 139 shares; hundreds of comments) (Instagram/Sept. 4th: Poo Review — 116 likes) 7 (Instagram/August 17th: “This poop is bananas” — 275 likes) (YouTube/Sept. 10th: “Girls Don’t Poop Video” — over 40 million views; 96,000 likes; hundreds of comments) (Two of Poo- Pourri’s most popular Pinterest sections: “Deep Sh*t” [302 pins] and “Shits and Giggles” [192 pins]) 8 Main Competitors In the wake of Poo-Pourri’s success over the past decade, Squatty Potty and Airwick have both created products and marketing campaigns that are quite similar to those of Poo- Pourri. Unicorn Gold: • Squatty Potty debuted its Unicorn Gold “before you squat” toilet sprays in the fall of 2016 along with a YouTube commercial that closely resembled Poo-Pourri’s comically crass style of online commercials. • This video has been watched more than 3.5 million times and has been commented on over 1,000 times. • However, Unicorn Gold does not have its own social media platforms like Poo- Pourri does and, is only advertised, in periodic posts on Squatty Potty’s various social media accounts. • As a result, the product does not get nearly as much exposure as Poo-Pourri’s toilet sprays. 9 V.I.Poo: • Airwick’s toilet spray, V.I.Poo, also emerged on the scene around the same time that Unicorn Gold did. • V.I.Poo has also created an online marketing campaign similar to Poo-Pourri’s, and like the Texas-based company, V.I.Poo also advertises its products on a small handful of social media platforms. • However, these accounts have not attracted substantial amounts of followers and user engagement since the product’s inception in October 2016. • V.I.Poo has 5,741 followers on its Facebook account and has only posted a total of seven times on the platform. • V.I.Poo has over four thousand YouTube subscribers and 199 followers on Twitter. • Unlike Poo-Pourri, V.I.Poo does not have its own Instagram or Pinterest pages. • V.I.Poo’s has released 13 videos on YouTube. Its most watched commercials are the company’s first two online commercials, “Introducing V.I.Poo (full version)” and “Introducing V.I.Poo. (short version)”, which have been seen a total of 6.4 million times. Although these numbers appear to indicate that the videos have been successful, a closer examination of the commercials’ metric suggest otherwise. “Introducing V.I.Poo (full version)” received only 4,000 likes and a total of 2,000 dislikes, while the shorter version of the same commercial accrued more dislikes (293) than likes (86). In fact, these commercials received so many negative comments that the company was forced to disable the comments section under each video! 10 Key Audiences Primary Audience Poo-Pourri’s target demographic is comprised of female consumers between the ages of 18 and 49. This audience can be further broken down into two categories: females aged 18-30 and females aged 31-49. Females aged 18-30: • students and young professionals in the US and Canada. • who are adept at social media. • who prefer Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Pinterest to other social media platforms. • who possess a variety of economic statuses. • who live in a variety of accommodations — i.e., alone, with partners, or with roommates. • who are secretive about their own bowel movements. • who desire an effective toilet spray that makes it seem like they never used the bathroom in the first place. Females aged 31-49: • mothers and middle-aged professionals in the US and Canada. • who are less adept at social media than our 18-30 demographic, but are still comfortable using some of the more accessible platforms. • who prefer Facebook and YouTube to other social media platforms. • who possess a variety of economic statuses, but generally have higher incomes and more disposable cash than our 18-30 group. • who are less secretive about their own bowel movements than the 18-30 group. • who have become less put off by the scatological over time (whether from years of diaper-changing or living in close-quarters with their husbands, children, pets and/or roommates). • who desire a toilet spray that can be trusted to do the trick even during the most heinous of toilet crimes. 11 Secondary Audience Poo-Pourri’s secondary audience is comprised of male consumers between the ages of 18 and 49. This audience can be further broken down into two categories: males aged 18-30 and males aged 31-49.

Important EvEnts In thE Earth’s hIstory 4600 mya (million years ago) – Planet Earth formed. Dust left over from the birth of the sun clumped together to form planet Earth. The other planets in our solar system were also formed in this way at about the same time. 4500 mya – Earth’s core and crust formed. Dense metals sank to the centre of the Earth and formed the core, while the outside layer cooled and solidified to form the Earth’s crust. 4400 mya – The Earth’s first oceans formed. Water vapour was released into the Earth’s atmosphere by volcanism. It then cooled, fell back down as rain, and formed the Earth’s first oceans. Some water may also have been brought to Earth by comets and asteroids. 3850 mya – The first life appeared on Earth. It was very simple single-celled organisms.

  • Configuring a Scatological Gaze in Trash Filmmaking Zoe Gross
    Excremental Ecstasy, Divine Defecation and Revolting Reception: Configuring a Scatological Gaze in Trash Filmmaking Zoe Gross Scatology, for all the sordid formidability the term evokes, is not an es- pecially novel or unusual theme, stylistic technique or descriptor in film or filmic reception. Shit happens – to emphasise both the banality and perva- siveness of the cliché itself – on multiple levels of textuality, manifesting it- self in both the content and aesthetic of cinematic texts, and the ways we respond to them. We often refer to “shit films,” using an excremental vo- cabulary redolent of detritus, malaise and uncleanliness to denote their otherness and “badness”. That is, films of questionable taste, aesthetics, or value, are frequently delineated and defined by the defecatory: we describe them as “trash”, “crap”, “filth”, “sewerage”, “shithouse”. When considering cinematic purviews such as the b-film, exploitation, and shock or trash filmmaking, whose narratives are so often played out on the site of the gro- tesque body, a screenscape spectacularly splattered with bodily excess and waste is de rigeur. Here, the scatological is both often on blatant dis- play – shit is ejected, consumed, smeared, slung – and underpining or tinc- turing form and style, imbuing the text with a “shitty” aesthetic. In these kinds of films – which, as their various appellations tend to suggest, are de- fined themselves by their association with marginality, excess and trash, the underground, and the illicit – the abject body and its excretia not only act as a dominant visual landscape, but provide a kind of somatic, faecal COLLOQUY text theory critique 18 (2009).

  • The Authenticity of Ambiguity: Dada and Existentialism
    THE AUTHENTICITY OF AMBIGUITY: DADA AND EXISTENTIALISM by ELIZABETH FRANCES BENJAMIN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii - ABSTRACT - Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical approaches to Dada as a quintessential part of the European Avant-Garde, this thesis performs a reassessment of the movement as a form of (proto-)Existentialist philosophy. The thesis represents the first major comparative study of Dada and Existentialism, contributing a new perspective on Dada as a movement, a historical legacy, and a philosophical field of study.

There was a mother who had two of the ordinary and is experienced as funny (tautology boys; one was called Yesterday and the other Pudding. is unavoidable when one wants to explain what humour Pudding and Yesterday had been naughty and were is). Shit on someone’s head is unusual, out of place and, sent to their room. Pudding said to Yesterday: ‘I must in the eyes of some, comical. For children that unusual poop’. Yesterday replied: ‘We are not allowed to leave event is enough to enjoy the thrill of the story. But not the room. Do it from the window’. Pudding did so but only for children. Cartoons and illustrations for a larger at that same moment the mayor passed by the house public also convey the humour of dirt falling on people and the poop fell on his hat.

  • Training Module on Service Contract Agreements for Wastewater Management in Gram Panchayats
    Training Module on Service Contract Agreements for Wastewater Management in Gram Panchayats Actionable Learning Modules for Gram Panchayat Functionaries National Institute of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj Rajendranager, Hyderabad – 500 030 www.nirdpr.org.in Foreword The Government of India through Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) has come up with an ambitious plan of providing Functional House Tap Connection (FHTC or yard taps) to every rural household by 2024. That means in the coming 3 – 4 years nearly 16 crore additional rural households are expected to get their yard taps for accessing drinking water. A fall out of this would be, the wastewater that will be generated from all these households. Therefore, the Government of India strongly suggests to the Gram Panchayats (GPs) to set up wastewater disposal systems. Funds are made available through the XV Finance Commission Grants, besides the allocation from the JJM and Swachh Bharat Mission-G. Setting up, Operation and Maintenance of wastewater systems require technical know- how. Therefore, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) advises the GPs to consider the option of contracting out wastewater management services to professional private sector agencies. Out sourcing service delivery or involving in service contracts with third party agencies is new to Gram Panchayats. The GPs need to be familiar with the official procedures to be able to call for expression of interest / invite bids; scrutinise proposals; select an agency that will deliver; monitor progress against agreed terms and conditions and so on. For this to happen, the Gram Panchayats have to step up their game, which indicates a training need.

While immaturity’s otherness to heteronormative adulthood is a source of fear and anxiety, this otherness is also what makes it desirable–that is, immaturity represents an escape from the pressures and standards of adulthood, signifying an oppositional subjectivity reminiscent of youthful rebellion. Indeed, the oppositional nature of immaturity is ultimately what gives it power as a source of political agency.

Abstract This dissertation’s object of study is the contemporary trend of femvertising, where seemingly pro-women sentiments are used to sell products. I argue that this commodified version of feminism is highly curated, superficial, and docile, but also popular with advertisers and consumers alike. The core question at the centre of this research is how commercial feminism—epitomized by the trend of femvertising—influences the feminist discursive field. Initially, I situate femvertising within the wider trend of consumer feminism and consider the implications of a marketplace that speaks the language of feminism.
