Some great unique ideas - thanks much!

Definately some nice tips in there Brandon, or should I say "Hacks"? Reading them does get the creativity flowing.

If you don't mind me asking, what font did you use for the PDF or how did you get that faded affect? If you don't want it on here, maybe PM me.

Thanks,
Chad

Hi Brandon,

I'd like to thank you for making your ideas available so conveniently.

Nicely written and some interesting concepts, creative advertising is often received well!

Thanks for the report!
Yes, it was a quick read, but it was to the point the whole way through.
Which is exactly how a report should be.
I know this will help a lot of people out.

Brandon,

Thanks for the free download. Anyone not getting this free ebook is missing out on some unique ideas.

I love the cube idea - genius! there's lots of good stuff in that report, well worth a couple of minutes to read. cheers mate!

Nice ideas however for an old codger like me bit hard to read in that font.

Awesome Guys and Gals! Glad you all have enjoyed all the tips in the report. If you just implemented one or two of them into your current marketing calendar I think you could see some really awesome results.

You guys rock!

Thanks Brandon!
Nice tips! I like the Rubik's Cube idea...expand on that by putting a message or info link on a completed side - so when (if) they ever actually finish the darned thing...they get a goodie!

btw: It looks like your typewriter ribbon is running out ...:rolleyes:

Many thanks. There are some real gems in here.

Nice collection of ideas. I'm keeping this as a swipe file to implement as needed.
I have seen many of them before, but this puts them succinctly and together.

Thanks!
Starting with a couple right away...

Besides being some great ideas, I enjoy your sense of humor as well! This actually sparked several ideas additional for me because I don't normally think down those lines.
Thanks!

Some great unique idea.

Thanks for sharing man and good luck on the WSO. #2 was cute. :p Relentlessly for us but persistent for them.

Nice little gems,for sure! Loved the "Community Service" angle!

Brandon you say, Create menu on Facebook for local businesses.

Can you explain this a little more please?

thanks

hey!!! very clever ideas! This is getting me in high gear...Love it!
Thanks a lot!

Edit: Menu on Facebook?? can u explain?

Thanks for sharing these great ideas. You're right, they got my brain turning!

Thanks for sharing. A lot of great ideas to make you think!!!!!

Thanks for the PDF. It put a smile on my face, especially the line in #2 ".....or until they die" LOL!!!

This is great stuff. I've got a presentation today and this has given me an idea on how I can get extra business from them. Thanks Brandon.

Great ideas and thanks for sharing the pdf. They were certainly interesting and creative and I can already see ways to expand on them. I'll probably try one or two very soon.

Bought your recent WSO Brandon. You are the real deal. Simple and Actionable. !!!

Some great ideas and I thought one of mine was good...I use the following when cold calling and have for many years and it's relative cheap to implement but gets a lot of response and very rarely do I not get to speak with the owner or decision maker.

When I walk into the door I hand a single red rose to the gatekeeper and they are speechless. Attached to the rose is a business card that has a small hole in the corner to allow it to be attached to the stem with florist wire. This is real cheap and easy to work with.
Also attached to the rose is a small baggie that contains a few Hershey Kisses. So I have just confused them and they got a rose and chocolate candy. Now I can also do no wrong....Not to mention the word of mouth that goes with it is priceless.

The Roses come from Sam's at an average cost of $6-7.00 per dozen some times I get them for $10 for 24.
The candy from the Dollar store same for the bags...Dollar stores are great for cheap promo items.
Business cards...well we all better have them.

I have about .60 in each rose set up but it gives me a lot of goodwill. You cant beat the price or the results.

One side note.....If we end up getting work from the company when we return to do the contract, collect the money or for whatever reason we the bring a small vase with roses or some other pretty flowers from Sams at a total cost of about $5.00. Now.....we have garnered as much goodwill from the gatekeeper as you can get. When we call we always get through as she remembers us as the flower guys.

This is my first post and I have learned a lot from this forum so I thought I would give something back.

Hope it works for you....I have more I will share later...

Hahaha I must admit I laughed so much reading this. Very, veeeery creative ideas, thanx for sharing

Thanks very much, Brandon. Much appreciated!

Just read through these...they're still valid! And they will be for a long time.

Brandon,

WTF. Downloaded this, read it for less than 5 minutes and I already made money TODAY using one of your "hacks". Pretty cool. "Thank ye mucho"
