    What are some ways you have advertised that was 'way out of the box'?

    What sort of results did you get?

    I remember a story of a guy who decided to mow the long grass beside a highway.

    He mowed it to the shape of his company logo.

    Sure he got a fine but the exposure (via the news) and customers he received through the news more than paid for the fine he received.

    a buddy of mine had a food stand at the beach a couple years ago... because he couldn't afford any normal advertising, he decided to streak the pier while carrying a big sign for his business, as well as the logo painted on his back... he was arrested and given (i think) around 500 hrs community service... needless to say, though, his was the most popular stand on the entire beach that summer... :lol:

    Do you remember what the fine was? I like that idea :-)
