IKEA Offers Discount...If You Pee On a Magazine

IKEA is running in ad in "Amelia" magazine that also doubles as a pregnancy test. If a woman pees on the the ad and is pregnant, she gets a discount on the advertised baby crib.

Ikea is using some creative marketing to feel cribs. The Swedish  furniture giant has asked women who think they may have a bun in the  oven to urinate on its latest print ad to find out for sure. If the test  is positive, discounts on baby furniture await!

Here's how it works. The ad is running in Swedish magazine "Amelia"  and has a picture of a baby crib with the text, "Peeing on this ad may  change your life" at the top of the page. If the test is positive, a  discount code is revealed for the advertised crib.

"This ad is also a pregnancy test. Pee on the marked area and wait a  moment," the print says. "If you are expecting, you will get a surprise  right here in the ad."

The agency behind the campaign said there were even "technical  advancements made" while crafting the pregnancy test technology to work  from a magazine page. Apparently, those advancements may have the  potential to improve medical diagnostics in the future.
