The 7 Best Promotion Techniques You Dont Know
Posted on 29 March 2007 by DeanHunt
Advertising on TV and Radio is so 2006. So here are 7 of the best promotional methods you probably have never heard of.
1) Find one of those crazy women on eBay who is willing to sell space on her body for money. Make some bids. These type of auctions usually get CRAZY amounts of traffic.
2) Advertise your website address on your car. Now you can earn whilst you drive.
3) Tattoo your website address on your face.
4) Rent out one of those moving advertising billboard vehicles. Get your site URL on it and drive to the most busiest part of the city. Start honking the horn like a crazy person.
5) Buy a pair of sandals, get your website engraved on the bottom and walk on the beach, stomp in the mud or play in the snow.
6) Whilst you are on the beach simply drop a stencil onto the body of the hottest sleeping chick you can find. When she wakes up her sun burn will show your website address.
7) Get T-Shirts with your website address printed on it. Wear it everywhere.

You are missing the fact that not one single one of your methods is targeted.

Lol, the sandals thing is great. I’ll test asap

I like your sandals idea. To make that more viral though you should open up your own sandals line and mass produce those badboys.

Re: Dave Davis
If you have a good URL they are all automatically targeted. People won’t go to it unless they are interested…

The 7 choice is quite interesting.
For sure the 3d choice I will never use it

One thing to keep in mind with #2: if your car insurance company learns of you advertising your own business on your personal vehicle, they may decide to deem it a “business vehicle” and charge you a higher rate. So be careful there, and ask your agent before you put something on your car or truck that is not easily removed.

Dave has a point though, targeting means reaching an audience relevant to your site through a medium that works.
Your stencil idea is great for sun tan lotion companies. Or better, the tattoo on the head makes perfect sense for a hat company or the Hair Club for Men.
Why not rent a plane and do skywriting about your kite company?

Great ideas, anything you can do that is original to market your site has the potential to really generate traffic and as far as targeting vs general traffic you can always take the ideas listed and modify them to reach your target market. For example the #4 idea is to rent an advertising billboard vehicle and drive all over the place but if you wanted to get more targeted traffic find an area in town that has an event or large store that relates to your websites topic and then park the vehicle nearby this way everyone attending the event or visiting the store will notice your advertisement, same goes for the t-shirt idea instead of just wearing the t-shirt around town try to find something going on around town that relates to your site and pas out a couple dozen free t-shirts and you will get lots of targeted eyeballs seeing your website on all the free t-shirts.

Currently addressing the financial implications of 1, 2 and 7
Currently addressing the moral implications of stencilling my girlfriends body… I think I’ll need to pass that one for good reason

You could give away balloons with your URL on if its a kids related shop.
I’m after a baby pink figaro to stencil my domain name on!

Ah well if the tax department decide that advertising on your vehicle makes it a business vehicle then you right it down as a tax deduction. Keep advertising . Nice one.
By the way I have a very perfect bald head that you can use for 200,000 a year.
