UnusualMarketing

Ever seen an unusual vehicle on the road promoting a product? If so, Turtle Transit probably had something to do with it.

Someone noticed there was a lot of empty white space going unused and decided to take advantage of it.

At any one time, scanning the “Advertising Opportunities” section on eBay reveals some interesting ideas people have come up with to make money. These include auctions such as ‘advertise on my car’, advertise on my chest’, and even ‘advertise on my living room wall‘.

I recently (a little over a week ago) thought I’d try a bit of this and won an ‘advertise on my car’ auction. This auction was by a college student who promised to display my ad for a year.

The ad isn’t up as of yet… but at the price I paid it might be a bargain. Who knows?

This is for a new project which I’m only promoting off-line, so I should be able to notice any positive results (and report on them).

This website offers some of the tricks that encourage customers to shop (and buy) more freely. Who knows?, some of them might even be adaptable to online marketing.
