my crap ad
« on: February 11, 2008, 03:15:27 pm »
just got a good deal on an ad on the front page of our local paper, this is whats going in this week ( did'nt have time to do anything flash) just thought I'd go for the same photo I use on my van, leaflet & yellow pages to increase my local presence, I want this photo of me to be constantly seen in my area so its imprinted on peoples minds

got the space for ever at a good price £60 a week

its a crap ad but I was in a hurry

Nowt wrong with that Mike. Got the offer for the draw, tells em what you do, the photo for the trust and your on the front page. What more do you need. £60 is very good for the front page of any rag.

Joe, me & shaun are always waving to each other :) he's just a copycat, he wanted to use me on his website because he's a bit ugly, but I said no

the rotory is just to add interest.

Showing an open hand goes back to when we were cave men and shows we have no weapon.

Our brains are still hard wired somehow to see it as a non threatening gesture.

Therefore hands behind the back are bad news.

Hands in pockets means you have itchy balls.

the photo had to be squashed to fit the ad, in real life I'm much taller, slimmer and better looking.

and for some strange reason squashing the  photo has made it look like my hair has fallen out :-\ :-\

The ladies will love it though Billy "oh he's so sensitive". Agree with the flymo comment though. You might get a few grass cutting enquiries. Would hate to clean your waste tank out.

I am the taller thinner better looking and may I add a lot younger version of that squashed up advert!

I wave my hand to show that there is nothing in my pockets ;D

As for the advert I think it will do well because there are no prices or no anything, I think you'll get calls just to claim £10 off out of the 'interest factor'.
