Effective Advertising
Posted by LOTGK on May 7, 2008

On my way home from work the other day, I was on Route 224,
(The main traffic artery of Boardman, Ohio) I spied this hard working lad. He was standing on the roadside attempting to drum up business for Boston Market chicken, the restaurant he works for. He had a big wrap around sign displaying the Boston Market logo and a $5.99 meal deal.
He saw me snapping his picture and he waved and laughed. Smile dude, you made the Grassy Knoll Institute.
Made me think of the old style diners back in the 50’s and 60’s where men would walk up and down the streets with Eat At Joe’s type of signs on them. Apparently, it is effective advertising if it is still being used today.
Now doesn’t that make you want to “Bring it on in to Omeletteville!”

I see stuff like that all the time here. The funniest one is of someone dressing like the statue of liberty for a loan place.

While in NYC, I saw this guy working for tips on the streets.

Now when you hook a hose up to a plane and drain crap out of the lavs, you can talk to me about a crappy job. No pun intended.

That reminds me of the other day when the fam and I were driving down the road and there was a Patriot Loans place and in front of it was a guy dressed as the Statue of Liberty to try to lure people in to get loans. I should have taken his picture it was priceless.
BTW, I found your site as I was reading some of Chica’s comments. Love your blog, its great!
