Best Buy Adds Hamsters to Super Bowl Promotion

Technology retail giant Best Buy already announced a major mobile phone deal as part of this year’s Super Bowl marketing push.  Today the company further announced that it has added hamsters to its bag of tricks.   Every printer that the company sells during the week following the big game will come with a free technical support hamster.

Analysts are calling the promotion a smart move by the retailer.  "Hamsters are known for their computer savviness, but they can be pricey.  Including the creatures for free with printer purchases offers a huge benefit for consumers,“ said Elliot Kosmann of the industry-watching CDN Groupe.
