September 1st, 2008 in Michael Moster of Langley BC has gotta be a contender for this month’s guest post giveaway, with this, his “best marketing idea ever”.
As I live in a rural area, I have to do a fair bit of driving to go to location shoots, run errands and get supplies etc, so I decided to have the following sign painted on the back of my truck. “If you see this vehicle being driven in an unsafe manner, please call 604 530 8022″.
I tell you, I had to install two more telephone lines into the studio to handle the call volume.
The typical call might go something like this: “I’m calling to report that @#$% jerk driving the pickup truck. He was driving like a maniac. He cut me off and was passing everyone while in the curb lane”… etc etc.
My reply of course would go something like this… “Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We’ll certainly look into it…
“But seeing as I’ve got you on the phone at the moment… How long has it been since you’ve had a family portrait? Let me tell you about a special we’re offering…”
But wait, there’s more: Question: What’s the difference between a large pepperoni pizza and a professional photographer? Answer: A large pepperoni pizza can feed a family of four. Hey, we didn’t say it. Thanks for making us laugh out loud, Michael.
