I ran across a picture of an idea I think we could all use. Snapple (juice/tea drinks) was launching new flavors and decided to create this mobile stage in a Airstream Bambi. They drove it all over the country offering free hair dye jobs and free "Mohawk" haircuts, taste samples, etc. I am thinking, "HELLO! This looks a lot like my baby SUV and my Egg!" For the right price, I'll slap some logos on the sides and spend the rest of my LIFE traveling the country!

Unfortunately the web site did not have any really good shots of the whole vehicle and I don't have a scanner to get the print photo I have up here.

You can kinda see it in these shots though.





Now, I just need a lucrative sponsor...

Eggland (the other "egg") or Hormel (eggs and bacon anyone?)...there's a thousand of 'em, just gotta hook 'em in...almost sounds like MLM?:dance

no brainer, ay.......Twinkies!!!

:yep Yep!

''Egg Beaters, the Healthy Egg'';)


No Yolk!:laugh

No MLM at all. Each of us just needs to go out and find a sponsor. There are services that does this for cars. They wrap your car in a vinyl advertisment. You can still see out, but they cover almost the whole car. Then they pay you like $400 a month to drive it around and hand out brochures. My guess is business has fallen off a bit since the dotcoms' precipitous slide. But, I still think (as a marketer) that this is a great idea! So, we just need to find some sponsors who are willing to do the same for our trailers.

Well, if anyone comes knocking on my door, I'll send them to you, JR. I just can't see myself doing that. It might draw too much attention. and you know I don't like that. that's why I got such a bland colored car and trailer. :duck

However, if anyone comes my way with an offer for several hundred a month to advertise a product I am not ethically opposed to, I'll jump on it. Hey, if they'll make my car payment so I can keep driving around forever, I'll go for it! :thumb

Might be hard to park with the Snapple bottles sticking out the top though!

Not everything in my life has a price, but my pride sure does!

:cblob

I can cut a mean Mohawk, just ask Jim.:u

Ok, the first one was unintentional, but.... :chased

Dina (& Jim) Schulz

Whoe-ho, you didn't. :lol and Jim still speaks to you? way to go Jim.

Think I'd reather go with the Twinkies.
maybe then we would only have to apply icing.

Yup, first time I'd ever used trimmers.:wak

He ended up with a buzz cut and liked it. (I told him it made him look like Harrison Ford!);)

You're right, Jana, he is a sweetie.:wub

Dina (& Jim) Schulz

You are half way there Jana! All you gotta do is paint the top half yellow and tell everyone the middle is filled with artificial goo.

The more I think about it, the more I think I could go along with this.

What I found on my most recent sojourn is that no matter how much you try not to draw attention, these little cuties do it anyway. So ... why not make the most of it?

I'm actually a perfect candidate. I still haven't decided what decals I'm going to put on mine, so I'm open for suggestions.

Okay. What about this?

For local jeweler, maybe: Good things come in small packages. Buy diamonds!

or

Travel lite. Pack Right. Use Samsonite

So....whad'a'ya think?

Rolling, rolling, rolling. Keep this baby rolling.

Buy brand name tires

Another take on this topic, from Nov. 30, 2002:

If NASCAR can do it, posted by Doug Roach.

Thanks, Mary. I knew that idea sounded familiar.

Well, it took me awhile to figure out where I remembered it from (it was in the Jokes section!) And I still had to search it this a.m. to find it.

But our Search feature's great! If you can figure out what terms to go looking for... :wak

Sign me up to advertise professional gel coat application and hehr windows! Oh, and aluminum trailer frames and solar power! And optima batteries! I don't have most of these things but they'll hook me up... right?:ola

My NASCAR fan friends will love it.

Took my egg to the Spam museum in Austin Minn. They agreed it is the perfect shape for a can of Spam. Mine is a Scamp 13'. Any good artists out there?

You would have a Spamp.:jester

:laugh :laugh Good one, Maggie!

Good thing I like Twinkies, JR, or you'd be in real trouble. saying I have artificial goo. all my goo is the real thing - really artificial. BUT I think Buttercup should be a bowl of butter, salt free of course. Just add a little bowl decoration, and I'm set to go.

Aww, Jana, she didn't say you had artificial goo. She said you just need to tell everyone you do.

:wink

I agree with you about Buttercup, JJ. No artificial goo for you... how do you feel about Land o' Lakes? (You could pose as the American Indian maiden, no? For the painting on the side I mean.)

:r

That's the one I was thinking of, but forgot about the maiden part. :lol Well, I could pose.

Well, from the way the inside of my trailer looks after several days on the road, I think the only product I could advertise is Chex Mix. There is a little bit of everything in here!

I do like the Land O'Lakes idea. I was thinking of that old commercial where the Parkay container opens and says "Parkay!"
