Making sanitation fun
Domestos along with digital agency Lean Mean Fighting Machine have worked together to make flush tracker http://www.flushtracker.com/ in aid of world toilet day.
Flush Tracker allows you to enter the time and location of your most recent toilet visit, and uses Google Maps to let you track your faeces as they make their way through your local sewers

The Flush tracker raises awareness of sanitation but at the same time does it in a light hearted way. The response was truly amazing with the servers crashing on day one!

What can we learn from the past?
From below it can be seen that marketing of the toilet is what made Crappers products famous. The image was taken from a pub in Chester, original marketing print.
Contrary to widespread misconceptions, Crapper did not invent the water closet. He did, however, do much to increase the popularity of the toilet, and developed some important related inventions, such as the ballcock. In the 1880s, Prince Edward (later Edward VII) purchased his country seat of Sandringham House in Norfolk and asked Thomas Crapper & Co. to supply the plumbing, including thirty lavatories with cedarwood seats and enclosures, thus giving Crapper his first Royal Warrant. The firm received further warrants from Edward as King and from George V both as Prince of Wales and as King.

Get people to aim
A great innovation I noticed in the Amsterdam Schipol airport toilets. According to statistics, since the icon of the fly has been in use, it improves the aim. If a man sees a fly, he aims at it. The general hygiene in the toilets has improved by 80%, apart from putting a smile on everyone's faces.
