This morning, in a brainstorming session, I came up with an idea for non-permanent guerilla advertising.
Simple really: Replace the soles of your shoes with soft rubber, impregnated with chalk or ink, that squashes out onto the ground as you put your foot down. Similar to a self-inking rubber stamp.
Like
so:
..HEY!
HUNGRY?
.EAT.
.AT.
.COOL.
.JOE'S.
.GOOD.
DINING,
..CNR.
..3RD.
..AND.
.VINE.

Ace idea, and as long as the chalk is washable it is perfectly legal as it does not deface the sidewalk |
|
| |
The writing is on the wall. |
|
| |
I think this is the first advertising idea I have ever given a bun to. |
|
| |
Nicked from the Roman ladies of ill repute, perhaps? Still a bun though. |
|
| |
[+] I actually thought of something like this yesterday and now I'm wondering how you read my mind? spooky |
|
| |
[riki], I have enough to do without having to bring this idea to market. |
|

Drop your runner at a point in town: |

Chew Snake Turd Gum - he's walking backwards as directed. |
|
| |
And, of course, you shouldn't forget that shoes often squeak - the squeak could be tailored carry the jingle. |
|
| |
I cant find a link but I remember seeing a neat idea involving this sort of printing but with the words being printed out by a bicycle-the best part was that the paint/ink roller could be activated/deactivated by pressing the breaks. |

I aint carrying' nuthin' for no advertisin' freak! And don't you bring no scissors near me boy! |

Thanks [UB] ! This idea would also work as a "Where's Jutta?" game at the beach - follow the stamped buns and bones in and out of the crowd. |
|
| |
(For Australian HB'ers only - I'd like a set with the 'Eternity' script in chalk. Keep the guy's dream alive..) |
|
| |
That's an idea worth baking. |
|
| |
There's no reason the title shouldn't be "Shoevertising" |
|
| |
I second the inexplicability of your observation [Mr Phase]. |
|
| |
If 'Advertishoes' is the noun, then 'Shoevertising' can be the verb. |
|
| |
I like it. "Damn those shoevertisers, with their bloody advertishoes" |
|
| |
But, <scratching head> most people I know only have two feet.<improperly nested tag> </scratching head></improperly nested tag> Yet I see shovertisements with 4 or even 5 words... |
|
| |
[Unabubba] spots a pile of fresh dog turd on the pavement, and wonders "Just how far am I willing to go in the name of advertising?" |
|
| |
Thanks for the link, [half]. I came up with these independently. However, I gave them the ability to leave prints everywhere, not just in soft surfaces. Leaving bootprints is not exactly new. There's a difference. |
|
| |
I'm against the MFD. This one is self inking, needs no soft material or puddle to use it, and is intended to advertise things other than the shoemaker itself. |
|
| |
I hate when people split hairs like I'm doing, but it does seem significantly different, and a lot of stuff more similar than these two ideas stick around, even if they're both crap, which these aren't. |
|
| |
If this has to go, then at least all the annos and the idea here should get added to the other idea somehow. |
|
| |
Dot matrix boots, same idea, but allows you to vary the messages. |
|
| |
It really needs to be turn-on-and-offable otherwise you'll make embarrassing messes on your friends' carpets. |
|
| |
You could always be polite and take your shoes off at the door, like civilised folk. |
|
| |
I predict [hubby2debbie] will be a superb halfbaker. Oh, sorry. Wrong thread. |
|
| |
This idea is pure genius. |
|
| |
No! We do _not_ need more advertising. |
|
| |
I would if I had brought the talc... |
|
| |
Brand Branding Shoes. Same idea but with
an electric or combustion heat source that
sears the advertiser's message into
everything you walk on. |
|
| |
Hmm... and maybe your feet too, if they're
not too carefully constructed. |
|
| |
We removed all those huge billboards next to the highways, only to be replaced by T-Shirts, Hats, Jackets, and other articles of clothing, might as well add shoes. People paying to advertise. Corporate America loves free advertising!
Can I pay you to wear a shirt Mr Gates? |
|
| |
What if the guy wearing [Jinbish]'s shoes gets lost? I think the company would dock his pay. |
