I have a question....

How can you sell something if you know the chance of a decent ROI doesn't exisit in a product?

How many people do you think see one of those flyers, and then go to the business as a result?

What kind of ROI have your clients gotten?

[ 1 ] Thanks

I'm not saying his idea here is bad, but you make good points. I'm not sure how many people go from the crapper to acting on marketing messages. You would have a captive audience for sure, and people do a lot of reading on the throne, but I'm not sure how many go from the throne out to the masses to do business, after doing their business. Do they see the pizza add and think to themselves, "well, time for a refill"? And urinals aren't places to spend a lot of time anyway, so I'm not going to stand there and read for longer than I have to. How about a QR code in the urinal to aim at?

Thanks

Sir; What makes you think that question has ever occurred to the people selling this "advertising"?

I know when I go into the Men's Room, I take a pencil and paper with me every time. You never know when an ad will catch your eye, and you can write down the contact information...so you can call them later and see what they sell.

This was a joke.

Personally, I think it's a novel idea to sell ...um..."advertising".....but don't expect to have testimonials from advertisers raving about how this brings in customers.

There has been a company doing this in my area for ages. One important thing I noticed was the custom tamper-resistant frames they used. I guess they had a damage problem - you should account for this in your plans.

I've researched this from an advertiser's perspective and there is an association that covers this type of advertising. It is effective for the right advertiser, right audience and the right message. An astonishing number of people have their mobile phones with them in the bathroom (and use them while on the toilet) and the entire success of the advertising relies on that fact.

He isn't introducing anything new here, maybe only to an audience that doesn't know much about it. But this is a long standing method of advertising.

You'll find there are very, very few new ideas. There are also very few people who will take action on an old idea and make money from it.

It's just MY humble opinion BUT for YEARS now....."Martin" has been using "Ideas" he's gotten from little ol' ME....Don Alm. And...it's starting to get "Tiresome"!

Especially when people give HIM credit for coming up with these "Genius" projects.

It's just MY humble opinion BUT....I DON'T think "Martin" has actually SOLD any of the advertising projects he presents!!!!!!!!

The Photos in the OP's post are from an advertising firm that actually places Ad Boards in Restrooms. Just Google "Indoor Advertising" and you'll see MANY of these firms....probably including the Photos that "Marty" is showing here.

A few of my IM buddies (SALES people I helped get into this biz) emailed
"Martin's" recent post.

I'm not selling MY "Midas Report" at this time but you will see THIS Project and many others (Future programs for "Martin" to add to his collection) on MY website...."Midas Reports dot com"!

Don Alm.....the "Creator" and STILL creating AND selling....belly-to-belly

Sorry, what I wrote came across wrong. I didn't intend it as an insult. Someone was asking if it works and I was simply pointing out that it has been working for a long time so there was no need to question the viability.

Thanks

Why put up bill boards when you can just write it on the wall. I used to see ads all the time when I was growing up. People always advertised their services like that.

You obviously didn't put enough thought into this. In order to really CRUSH IT! you need to write the ads in candy apple red lipstick. Just sayin'...

All you have to do is simply walk into a local restaurant, bar, club, etc. and*ask to speak to the owner. Once your in contact with the owner keep it*simple and just show the owner a sample of an ad mini-billboard looks like*and explain to them that you will place their 8 ½ x 11 ad flyer in 4 other*local businesses restrooms for free in exchange for allowing you to place*ad mini-billboards in their restroom.

*sounds good but the owner I told that to asked what 4 other businesses would I be putting his bill board in and I had no answer tips?

  When the "Indian Casinos" first came to Oregon.....I made up some Sample "Urinal Wall Ads" (what I called them) (I believe in not "farting-around" with Niceties! Call a Spade a Spade!)
  
  These were 17" across and 27" high .....in a Plastic Frame mounted on the Wall above the URINALS!.....in 4 'Restrooms" of our Indian Casino in Canyonville, Oregon.
  
  Each restroom had 5 Urinals so....each of my Frames could hold 4 Advertisers....a total of 20 Advertisers per restroom.
  
  So....when this Casino opened....there was Space for 20 advertisers X 4 "john's" = 80 advertisers!
  
  EIGHTY ADVERTISERS willing to pay $50 a month for each space = 80 x $50 = $4,000 A MONTH from ONE Casino?
  
  You Kidding ME? Holy Camoly! With the TRAFFIC of "AFFLUENT" GAMBLERS....going into these Urinals.....spending 60 to 90 seconds each....EXPOSURE!
  
  Selling my "Frames On Walls" was a "Laydown"!
  
  Each Board I had a DUI Lawyer! In fact...I had Law Firms wanting to pay me "enormous" sums to be the ONLY DUI outfit on my Boards!
  
  Note: I sold my "Restroom Boards" to an outfit that got too greedy and got management "pissed".....HOWEVER.....that was 2 yrs ago and....this topic has RE-INSPIRED ME to....GO BACK (I had a Non-Compete dealee for 2yrs)
  
  Heck....Oregon now has SIX Indian Casinos and....because they're in small towns I don't think any "Big Boys" have given this a look.
  
  So.....my "Home-Work" this weekend is to check out a couple of Indian Casinos to see if anyone has jumped on this. If not....hey! I can use a few grand coming in every month for doing nothing but hanging some picture frames on walls above Urinals!

$4k/month for one casino? How long did that program run? MIDAS, you must be knocking down about $100-$200k or more a month with your various advertising programs?

Interesting thread. I talked to a DUI attorney the other day who
was doing restroom advertising in a restaurant that served alcohol.

He liked it and was getting results.

The business owner, however, didn't think it was good for business
and had the attorney's ad removed.

Thanks
