You know your marketing stinks...when!

We all go to a lot of effort in our attempts to make sure our marketing efforts and dollars have the most impact for our target audience.  I thought this engaging entrepreneur hit the nail on the head with his creative marketing tact!  Hey you may think his marketing is just a pile of pooh but this guy knows how to grab his targets attention.

I know the photo stinks but I was on the move doing something I should not, taking a photo with my iPhone while driving.  BTW I think I will stick to my line of work.

John,

That kind of marketing always gets attention and many times a lot of business. Some how I can imagine a Realtor being able to generate leads from advertising like this but who knows.. People are strange as we all know. I like your picture but be careful taking the picture while driving as this might end up being a grande no bueno!

Smart idea!  Maybe I can put a birdhouse on the top of my truck.  No, that would be shades of Seamus...can't do that to the poor birds who want to live there!

There it is in plain sight, no guessing what line of work he does, I bet he gets business from it.

Now that's what I would call visually effective marketing.  No question what he does for a living and/or what his business is all about.  Definitely gets your attention and isn't that what advertising is all about :)

I think I prefer the real estate business.  However, some real estate marketing could be in the same category as dog poop.

Have a great week and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the special moments.

Wow, that is some big pile of poop, and a very odd marketing ploy, but I'll bet it works.

LOL! I wouldn't want to drive around town with that pile of poop on top of my car, but the marketing is very effective. Sounds like a yucky job, though!
