Spotted in Arvada - How NOT to Market Your Business

By
Real Estate Agent with The DiGiorgio Group

Arvada homes for saleI was minding my own business in Arvada, CO (a historic small town between Denver and Boulder) when I saw this car in front of me at a red light the other day, and thought it was one of the funniest things I'd seen in a while.  You may not believe it's real, but it was.

Adverising financial services on the tail of a beat-up car, so cluttered it looks like people may be living in it, reminds me of some marketing photos of homes for sale.

Such a perfect example of how NOT to market your services, I just couldn't resist!

If you listen to some of those financial talk shows on the radio, that's exactly the kind of car to get financial advice. They say rich people never buy new cars...maybe this is the new trend.

Even knowing that's what radio talk shows say, this car doesn't inspire confidence in me.

Joetta - no I wouln't be calling this dude anytime soon.  I wonder who would be?  Folks that are desparte?  Kind of scary.   Hey - on the other hand maybe this guy is well known around town and everybody likes what he does.  We don't really know the real story.  How bout you check it out and update us.....

I just called him and gave him my social , bank account numbers and put a $5,000 loan placement check in the mail to him at his P.O.Box. He said he could lend me all the money I needed at only 1% and would drive some over to me when my check clears !!!!!!!!!!

Too funny Joetta. You have to wonder what these people are thinking don't you? At least we got a good laugh.

Thanks, Brett & Meredith -I promise to take the sleeping bags out of my car before I drive folks around!

Hi, John - I guess they figured - it doesn't cost much, might as well try

Anna Banana- hi! I would have called him just because you suggested it, but I 'whited out' those darn numbers

Michael - But of course, your check won't clear unless that lawsuit settlement comes through in time, right?

Barb - I actually wondered if it was a joke. But just for a sec!
