:: Come flyer with me ::

Sunday, June 27, 2004

New guerilla marketing tactic: print out flyers for your product/service. On one side, put the typical advertising information. Be as obnoxious as you like. Leave the other side blank except for what looks to be a handwritten message saying the following:

Hey - I was walking by and saw that as the car parked in front of yours was leaving, it bumped your fender slightly. I didn’t see any damage, but just in case, it had [state] plates reading XXX-123. The driver looked like a foreign national too, so you might want to keep this (you just can't trust those immigrants).

Then place the flyer under the windshield wipers of any parallel-parked car you come across. No one's going to discard your ad - guaranteed uptake in sales.

good idea.

how about this too one:

You, as big pharma company xyz, hire a 60 year old actor to frequent places where plenty of old people might be found (bingo halls, hospital waiting rooms, the prune section of your local supermarket) and have him flop on the ground faking a massive coronary.

The old timers approach in concern and want to help, when your actor pops a pill, jumps to his feet and says he feels fine, thanks to Globothorolaxocontin.

The actor then proceeds to do fifty pushups and tells the awestruck crowd to ask their doctor about Globoherpocrapometrecon or whatever pill it is they want to unload.
