Cruising for Cash

Ok, I'm calling all bloggers to my side. I live in Houston and have quick access to the heart of downtown. Traffic is outrageous and the shopping centers are madhouses all day, every day. So, I was driving through town today, despising the traffic when this idea hit me. I'm not sure if it is original, but I can honestly admit that it originated from my own imagination with no outside inspiration. I think some large corporation should pay me to cruise around in a big vehicle plastered with vinyl advertising their company. Now I know that companies do this for their own businesses (mostly for the tax write off) but how cool would it be for someone like Amazon.com to create a big suburban to drive around the shopping centers at Christmas. It would really anger Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Bass Pro Shop, Best Buy, Circuit City as well as all the other places...but who cares. They couldn't do anything about it, and it would really turn heads. I think it would be amazing...and productive. It would also be sweet to see a 4 wheel drive truck advertising Google products in rush hour. We could call it the Google-mobile.

I'm thinking $100,000-$200,000 would cover it. It would be 1 year of solid marketing to one of the fastest growing areas around. You couldn't beat that deal, since the advertising spending in the US was $149.6 BILLION in 2006. Hey advertising guys, it might be better to go simpler and cheaper. Give it a try!!! But don't steal my idea! You can write me at rparsons25@hotmail.com

So, all you bloggers out there, need to help me get the word out to Amazon and Google. Blog it up and see if I can get me a job Cruising for Cash!

Oh, I forgot! Microsoft might want to get in on this too. Windows Vista has stunk it up since entering the market and needs some serious PR. I might be willing to make it a Vista-mobile!
