We Were Going to Buy A Superbowl Ad, but Went With a Plank of Wood Instead
Ah the challenges of marketing on a budget. Now that we have a deep pocketed owner, we thought: WTF, he’ll spring for a Superbowl ad and maybe a minute or two on 60 Minutes, but with 30 second Super Bowl ads going for a cool, $ 3 Mill, he told us to scale it back a bit.
So, we asked the crazy cartoonist to something a bit more, um, Cheap.
Final Budget $127.42. It went something like this:
Board from hardware store $46.52
Paint from hardware store $21.45
Gas to drive to desert $ 2.45
Beer for Cartoonist J $57.00
Ah heck, Hugh thinks he can get West Texas cowboys to give up their beer and go for Stormhoek. It’s an act of complete futility, but that is exactly why we are doing it.
Good luck, Hugh.

This is way better than a Super Bowl ad. But you need to spend another $99 dollars to get a better camera so we can actually see what’s on the sign. And can we buy your wine online?

Hey Geni, Thanks. Depends, where are you located. Tweaked the pic., it’s about my (lack of) WordPress skills 😉
