This term describes a strategy or device used to attract interest or encourage people to buy something: "Philip's best sales [not done] gimmick 1 involves offering clients a dinner with him if they buy his products".

1 gimmick: "Gimmick" is the term we were looking for here. A "gimmick" is a silly or cheap trick, often used to convince people to buy something. Example: "Grevlon always uses marketing gimmicks like free pens to sell its terrible products". In this dialogue, Susie says "putting perfume inside a billboard is such a gimmick".
2 silly: "Silly" is the correct answer here. If someone or something is "silly", they are "stupid", "frivolous", "foolish", or "lacking good sense". In the dialogue, Susie says that the idea of putting perfume inside a billboard is a "silly marketing trick". Another example: "Don't be silly: of course I don't love your brother more than I love you".
3 tacky: "Tacky" is the right answer. When we describe something as "tacky", we mean that it looks "cheap" or "in bad taste". "Tacky" is another insult which Susie uses against the marketing idea of fragranced billboards in this dialogue. Another example: "Samantha's wedding ring is very tacky: a huge plastic "diamond"."
