It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. I hear a rumor that we might get some March like weather this week. That would be nice for a change.
Most people don't know this but in 2007 I invented the virtual bus bench. I recently gave it a slight make over to celebrate the two year anniversary of the invention. I guess I am not sure if it is an invention or a creation but I think invention makes me sound smarter.
My virtual bench gets a lot of traffic. It has gotten vandalized over the years but it is easy to clean up. The message on the bench says it all. I really am all that and a bag of chips, just ask me some time. In the real estate industry we call putting our faces on bus benches marketing. I have never really been into face marketing. I tried putting my face on my business cards but it didn't fit. I took the photo that is on the bench with my blackberry through my rear view mirror. It is better than the last professional photo I had taken.
I suspect that the bench gets more notice on the internet than it would out on the street and it doesn't cost me a dime to use the space. It comes up number one in Google, but I don't think many people use the search: "virtual bus bench", but if they do they will find my face.
Maybe next week I'll work on creating a virtual bus and a virtual bus stop for my bench.
Have a great weekend!
Nice bench. What a creative marketing idea.
T – This is awesome! I love it.
Tempting, oh so tempting. 🙂
I was going to put a mustache on it for you but it didn’t quite fit.
Help me out here a little bit. A virtual bus bench is where you create a bus bench ad and then place it in a virtual city? You then put that image out there and wait to see if someone puts graffiti on it? I think that I might be confused.
No it is just a virtual bus bench which means that instead of being on a street it is on the internet. Same principle as a bunch bench. an advertisement. A little humor with the graffiti but I suppose not everyone get it but I guess it isn’t for everyone.
