Makes me wonder what that kind of advertising actually does for sales. I think, it often just impresses the business owner the most. Other people really couldn't care less.

Yeah it makes me wonder too. I know bad advertising annoys me enough to want to avoid some businesses, but when it comes to sales in general there is truth to what P.T. Barnum said, “There's no such thing as bad publicity.” For a lot of people, decisions are made by instinct or familiarity, so they think hamburger and automatically think of the same burger joint, not "Hmm, what kind of burger do I want today?" Same for coffee, cheap tools, etc etc. A lot of sales/marketing is not designed to inform you about their product, but just to make sure their brand is the first thing that pops into your mind.

I don't know what that moose is selling but maybe having a stupid looking moose on your car might just be enough to stick in the minds of locals enough to compete with the mass advertising of a national chain.


***EDIT*** Ok, thanks TheFarmerInAdell. It is a pizza place, so their goal is to pop into people's head just as fast as Dominos or Greco, without having the advertising budget of those bigger guys.

Especially in a high tourist area like Wisconsin Dells. New area, not sure where to eat, along comes a moose to let you know they have pizza!

Hard to believe but many people in the north feel the tongue, nose, and heart of a moose are delicacies. Those are the first things they eat or save them for special occasions.

I've never had those, yet also have never tasted a cut of moose meat that didn't taste great.

Actually the liver is the one part that many hunters eat same day as the kill.

Not sure if those wrap things are loosing popularity. I look at them only long enough to establish what the business is about. Often, I seem them at a distance and think it's some wreck!. I would sooner someone shows up at my place in a plain white vehicle, that knows what they are doing, rather than a BS artist in a wrapped up vehicle.

I have my company name and logo on my truck, but no phone number or E-Mail. I always thought that seemed a little desperate.

The set up our courrier car with a wrap where I work. We all called it the clown car, inculding the courrier. I think the same with other overdone wraps.

Whatever the advertising medium. I always say now, do it for me without charge and if my sale increase over and above the cost, I promise to pay you. Funny how they all insist how much their promotion will help my sales but no one is willing to put their money where their mouth is.
