Video: Using Your Car For Offline Marketing

By
Real Estate Agent with Joe Manausa Real Estate 8508880888

Real estate agents spend so much time driving their cars around town that we should take every opportunity to use our cars to promote our online activities. Considering that you most likely pass tens of thousands of people each day, it sure wouldn't hurt to use your car to promote your business at the same time.

I have prepared a video that shows a neat way to do this. I got the idea when Debbie Sagorin posed a question right here on Active Rain, and in doing a little research to provide an answer, I was inspired to add some "offline marketing" to the back of my car. If you enjoy the video, please use the sharing tools in the video to help me spread the word!

Again, please help spread the word by sharing this video on your favorite social media sites.

An interesting idea. I have turned my rear window into a billboard.

4X4 QR code on my back windshield of my SUV.  Gives the people behind me something to do at stoplights!

Joe, very cleaver, I'll check it out. I guess I can't have any lame web address.

Thanks Adrian. That's the key, getting the right address to have it short, but easy to remember.

That is a super cool idea Joe and looks great!  I'd say this is an idea that's way outside of "the box" and should be featured!

Interesting. When you sell the car the new owner may leave it there.

I used to do a magnet on the car, but after getting "recognized" by the Haymarket town police as being a repeat speeder one day, I threw them in the trash...not because I like to speed, but I realized that no one is on their best behavior in their car 24/7.

Hah, that's too funny Chris. I guess I should have thought about that. Maybe they'll contact my website to report about my bad driving.

Thanks Rich. I was impressed with the look, it blended right in on the Lexus.

Yes! I love it! It beat the heck out of the magnets. I like the look. I forwarded this over to one of my partners and we are both going to get one.
