Do You Know What Proximity Advertising Is?

When I start a new paint job I ask to my client to place my company sign “Another Quality Job by Art’s Finishing Inc” with all my contact information.

Then I select around 150 to 250 addresses around the neighborhood and send a post card with my company information.

We’re working in Your Neighborhood!


I have good result and I spend around $100.00 and up to now I close 1 or 3 deals.

Re: Do You Know What Proximity Advertising Is?

I know that IBM meetings used to begin with "Ever Onward" being sung by all in attendance at the meeting, or some such thing. Hear it here: http://anthems.zdnet.co.uk/anthems/ibm.swf

Heck, they have their own song book... http://www.etypewriters.com/ibmsongs.htm

Seems lately our company song would have to be "Hi Ho, Hi Ho".
