Handyman Chronicles
Hi All
Still struggling with the horrendous cost of advertising. You would not credit how much the buggers want. I came up with the following cunning plan; A large (huge) sign to mounted on the roof bars of my vehicle. Something like 6' x 3' full colour, professionally done. Checking out the car parks of local B&Q, Homebase, Morrisons, Asda, Tesco stores etc they all have the following restrictions; Maximum stay 2 hours, customers only. So, I park in B&Q car park in prominence position, attach sign to roof, buy packet of screws (therefore becoming a customer) and leave car there for 1 hour 55 mins. Remove sign, drive to Homebase & do the same. Then Morrisons etc. Perfectly legal, not flyposting, doesn't annoy people like windscreen flyers, can't be banned for doing anything. Result is that a HUGE number of people see my advert. Minimal cost, huge bang for the buck. Anyone see any snags? Any thoughts? -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
