Product placement as social commentary

I deliberately placed this timber sign: Teaching – not in it for the income in it for the outcome – at the front of the placement of these signs because it’s how I feel about teachers and because for two years now the Liberal state government in Victoria has failed to deliver on their promise. Ted Baillieu said he’d make Victorian teachers the best paid in the country and for two years he has welched on that promise. So I was happy to use this sign as the lead in our refresh of this homewares range.

I like being able to place product to make a statement. But I also like selling products with an optimistic message as this whole homewares range has. The optimism in the text of the range gives the shop and optimistic feel.
