Creative Marketing!

Today I had the good fortune to spend my morning driving around the area west of Tucson for 2 reasons:

To shoot some photos to send of the area around Saguaro National Park West for an out-of-state client
To do a favor & pick up a listing sign & lockbox in Three Points for a fellow agent who is laid up for a while

Sure, I put a lot of miles on the old truck, but it was a day to appreciate the beauty of the area and do something that made me feel good by helping someone out.

Getting ready to pull back onto Hwy 86 back to Tucson, I looked above me & noticed some truly creative marketing:

AC Repair Service sign with a mannequin waist-deep hanging out of an old AC unit - looking like he's hard at work repairing it.

You know--sometimes you have to get off of the beaten path to enjoy some creativity and a little humor. I don't think I want any peacocks, but I might just have to call this guy to see how his A/C service & repair is sometime!

Kent: It is really nice to finally see someone who puts his entire self into his work. And... it's into an A/C unit. Cool !

The signage may not be fancy, but it sure is eye-catching! I'll bet he gets a lot of business from folks who have enjoyed his sense of humor.

Kent, you are lucky to live in such beautiful part of our country! The picture is why we don't believe in AC in Washington State...

Gets attention - conveys the message. Of course, if I needed peacocks, I'd look for a lifesize A/C Unit up in the air.

Thanks for the great photo, Kent. Hope it was a great day!

Sometimes a dumb campaign will work wonders and be a smart marketing ploy. I'm sure people in that area remember this one! Cool job.

This is really a cool sign. The guy on the top looks almost real. I will try to give him a call as well. Just for fun.

I love the sign, and couldn't help but wonder if he was looking for the peacock eggs inside that unit. LOL
