So I'm driving down HWY 301 today in Parrish and I pass a black VW bus on the side of the road with silver fish attached to it. Now mind you, I am pretty much out in the middle of no where on a two lane road. There isn't much of anything out in those parts except country. However, in order to get to any of the main cities, you must travel either north or south on this road. So even though there is nothing out there really, many people do travel on this road everyday.
As I pass the VW bus, I'm like what the heck? Why did someone park it on the side of the road? And why are there fish on it?
Then I remembered I had my camera with me. So I went and ran my errands and came back the same way so I could stop and take some photos and figure out what it was.
So I head back towards the interesting bus and pull off on to the side of the road in order to get some photos. Turns out, it was advertising for someone that does aluminum sculpture & design. It was parked directly across the street from a house. Maybe the owner of the VW bus lives there.....pretty clever idea if you ask me!
On one side of the bus, was a sign that said Lost Koz and a phone number. On the other was the sign below.
Anyhow, this was what I saw.....
Guess this wasn't a "lost koz" after all. Look what his unique marketing did for him. A blog post on a real estate network just because I had my camera with me and thought it was interesting enough that I drove back by it to take some photos.....
What kind of strange, odd or off the wall marketing have you done to market yourself? What was the response?
And just in case someone is interested in his aluminum sculptures, he can be reached at 941-773-1576.
