"Marketing Outrageously"

My buddy and I (among other things) install "Information Boards" at Visitor Centers in tourist towns mostly.

These are wood boards with Maps of the area, a Phone and Ads of local Lodges and Restaurants and places of interest to Tourists.

Jimmy just got 18 Sales for $24,000 this last week. 12 spaces left, which he'll have no problem filling next week.

We use a WebSite to sell the ads; Take a look!

Hotels/Motels LOVE the Info Boards because the board puts their lodges in front of tourists AND tourists can use the phone to make reservations....which equates to MORE BUSINESS for the lodges.

Anyway...the reason this is "outrageous" is because here we are in the year 2003...armed with nothing more than an "idea" and a few photos on a website and yet people can STILL make a BUNDLE OF CASH starting with less than $100.

The "Net" from the Lincoln-Woodstock board will be over $30,000 from a $100 "investment".

What is REALLY outrageous is...most people on the internet, looking for ways to make a buck, do NOT even consider using the net to help them make "Direct Sales"....offline.

That's what we do. We contact Hotel/Motel managers/owners and tell them to go up to our website...while we're on the phone. I can do this from 3,000 miles away (isn't THAT outrageous?)

We explain their Ad on this Board will be seen by thousands of tourists and the tourists can even call to reserve a room.

We explain the price and ask if they want to participate...thus far the answer has been, "Yes!" 90% of the time. (THAT is REALLY outrageous)
