The Smartest and Funniest Marketing Campaign I've ever seen

You have often heard us say that as a  Business Owner it is important that you market and advertise your business. As a Small Business Owner its even more important that you do so. You don't know a SUCCESSFUL company that does not advertise today in some form or fashion.  They simply don't exist. 

That's why the big boys still send you coupons, commercials, postcards, etc.

Check out these small business owners who got CREATIVE about how to raise the level of their business. And to do so they used 4 very well known companies to do it from the comfort of their garage.

And a result they gained revenue raising business with a NATIONAL company.
