Train Advertising Testimonial - Free Advertising in NYC

4 replies
Hey Everyone,

I always hear of the concept of wearing your logo in public and seeing a good amount of traffic flowing in from doing so - I wore my logo and site in New York City for about a week and tracked a good amount of visitors to my blog by wearing my own logo and traffic..you are your brand and you need to spread the word even if it means wearing your own logo where you - its not that expensive to have a t-shirt or giveaway items made at cafepress or zazzle - i think I paid about 15 bucs for a trucker hat and wore it every day plus shipping and all and it was well worth it.....i decided to take this in a particular direction and wanted to share it with the world.

I wrote about it on my blog - click the signature below and find the featured post on the home page.

      I guess it only works... sometimes. I had my URL plastered across the back window of my van for years and it did absolutely nothing for my site traffic. I even had a line telling people what my service was. Only 1 person contacted me -

        Yea that kind bumper or windshield advertising is hit or miss - I tried that before as well - was not to effective but my trial on the NYC transit came back with great results...the NYC transit trains and buses are so crowed with hundreds of people at a time the exposure will be right in their faces and if your logo or web is interesting = it will be easy for them to remember....with all the Iphones and Web Browser phones that are out there now a days - folks can even browse your site immediately after checking out your logo on the hat.
