I argue you can't detect sales blurb with signature based IDS's. Instead, you need to create a plugin to Snort that is based on statistical analysis of the blurb. Besides "turn-key" you have other words like "pinnacle", "ubiquitous", "synergy", "core competencies", "expeditious", "win-win", "fast track", "mindset", "value-added", "metrics", and of course "paradigm" (besides oodles of others). Only through statistical analysis of occurrence of these words can you safely detect sales blurb.
Please don't forget "future-proof" and "integrated." Oh wait, I'm the one being made fun of :-(.(Sorry about sending the Spam... I thought this list was OK with commercial messages; that was my blunder.)
