What is your most clever non-internet marketing attemp?
 

I tried the bumb advertising thing and got alittle media.

Other then that I dropped a thousand business cards in a mall and got bitched out for it :1orglaugh

Dropped flyers in the subway, got a good responsoe tho

people are always interested if somethign is laying good on the floor

sorry for sp. mistakes = drunk

YARGH! Chasin' after people with a stick naked while yellin' me domain names.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Where is the pics? :1orglaugh

So that was you poking me with a stick?

Here, Here, and Here

damn link hotten protection

We went and stuck flyers under the windshield wipers of vehicles parked at a church. Went great until an alarm went off. We took off but it got us a TON of business as everyone was talking about it in town.

Hot sig, Jay knows what he's talking about

Back in the old days when I had a personal site we used to hold meet and greet parties really great way to get surfers :)

Mailing millions of AOL cd's to people who don't want them...

I'm afraid I haven't been clever at all.

While I was still out working in Hollywood, my marketing firm got a contract to do some viral and street promos for Blow. We ended up creating little mirrors with the movie name on em, put em in little bags, and included a straw.

Went over very well with the college kids all over the country.

i have a street team that hands out flyers

When i was a boss in the car biz one of my dealer principals pre-registered 100 Fiat Chinquecento's by without telling me

so we had 100 used cars to sell that were unused and most of the fuckers were white
we put one on an open truck with some signs showing an amazing deal and i made him drive it round London till all 100 were sold...took the guys a month to sell them but they did it

I know it's not marketing in the sense this thread is about, but:

- Last time I picked up a girl when I was single.
- Getting a job and keeping a job.

That is definably the best one yet :thumbsup :1orglaugh

i was opening a pc repair service. i would hand out flyers near pc shops (after working hours) and offer service at thier homes... went pretty well for me...

hrmm... parodies of a big compagny got us a lot of media attention
a little weekly magazine for clubs here... pretty big
advertising in bathrooms over toilets
flyer etc etc... normal street promo stuff. lots of it.

Nice nice, keep em comin

omg thats too fuckin funny :1orglaugh

Damn your from 2001 and I thought I've been around for a while.

Well, a friend of mine and I had an idea of trying to user a very bright spotlight and a colored die cut lens to superimpose our URL on the floor of a stadium when an event was going on. The idea would be to sneak the thing in during the game and shine it on the floor at the Superbowl or something. We thought that "stealing" and "ad" during the Superbowl would be the best stunt ever. But we first tried to make it readable by shining it on the side of a large building but we never did get it to work. So it was a failed attempt.

Distributing flyers with a redemption code online. Saw sales jump up 28%

I once had a website where if you visited it, you had to show it to other people or else you would die that week or something.. it worked very well, so well that they decided to make a movie out of it.

Anyways.. the movie sucked and it made the whole operation bomb.. sigh :(

streaking is mad popular

We did this during the 2004 MTV awards. It worked like a charm. It wasn't inside the awards but it was on one of the buildings across the street from the American Airlines arena where the event was held. It had all of the people that came in town talking. :thumbsup
