Wordless Wednesday--Excellent Marketing "Hook"!

RV Marketing by Teri Eckholm Realtor

Ever wonder what merging the first time homebuyer credit and the cash for clunkers programs marketing plan might look like?

This "sign" attracts a lot of attention in the Forest Lake/Columbus/Lino Lakes area just north of the 35 E/W split.

Unfortunately, just a day after I snapped this shot, the program ended with a bang! The "hook" gave way and the whole RV landed on the ground...and it had such potential as a fixer-upper too! LOL!

Carole--It is quite an attention getter on the main freeway...Especially in the road construction slowdown. Makes people smile! :)

Marcia--Most of the old cottages have been transformed into huge lake homes now. (If that was my RV, I wouldn't claim it now...lol.)

Anna--Laughed like crazy this morning as the "hook" gave way and the "sign" is a little lower and SMASHED on one end...Bet that awoke a few neighbors overnight!

Teri, love the photo!  If they did it for clunker houses, mine would probably qualify!

Teri,

You're over 300K? Man I've got work to do; went away for 10 days and lost a million points.

Debe--It was an interesting and attention getting idea! And...Thank you!

Pat--LOL...clunker houses. Bet there would be a line up to trade those in!

Carra--I did laugh...especially on the day it had crashed to the ground!

Lee&Carol--My thoughts exactly! :)

Jennifer--Fun to think of great headlines for Wordless and Speechless posts. :0

Terry--Thanks...I take time off too! Look at the people with 700K and 800K pts...geez they work hard!

Bill--Couldn't look too long at 70mph and 3 lanes of traffic but did get people's attention!

Karen--You give me too much credit...We drove by it about 10 times but just happened to have a camera and passenger who could take the photo in the car one day as we approached after laughing at it for days!
