Amazing - Tell Me What U Think
I was joking around with my girlfriend about creative marketing ideas and it turned into success.
I run a painting business and i dont like vans so i bought i nice half ton. i also dont like caps on trucks so i needed something to hold my tools where they wouldnt get wet. I decided to build myself a trailer, but not just any trailer. i got a frame complete with axels and wheels but not heavy heavy duty, just a utility trailer. i built a scaled down mini house on the frame complete with shingles roof, fascia boards, trim, siding boards and a front door. it turned out great and looked just like a scaled down house. being i run a painting company i painted just like any exterior job and it looked even better. then i labeled the crap out of it with my company logo and slogans. every way you look from the road, when i am towing this thing you can see my compony logos and contact information. also it is a mobile showcase of my work. i keep it parked on my jobsites and it gives me a workstation and advertising on every jobsite. there is a mailbox by the door that i keep packed full of brochures and people walking by always grab one. it started as a joke but has now become a huge advertising success. i generate so many leads because it is a mobile billboard and every one loves it. it is a mall kiosk that goes everywhere with me and it houses all my equiptment and tools. tell me what you think or try it out |

Re: Amazing - Tell Me What U Think
Very Cool. I bet you get noticed a lot for having that.
Any danger when you get up to high speeds? I mean... if I built the thing the roof would probably fall off if I hit 70 MPH.
