that is frackin brilliant.

ummmm, Im sorry (to those insulted by the $50 offer)...no need to post in the thread if you feel like your being ripped off.
Had a good chuckle at the flailing arms and debt slogans, perhaps we can combine it into 1 lol.

And thanks for the opinions on the top 10 thing. I couldn't agree more that these awards are handed out like candy. The million dollar club is no longer something that is given out.

[Travis Munroe]

Some real good ones, catchy as well. Might have to try a few different on different locations and see what works.
To avoid further insult I will give $50 to each slogan and not divide it by 4.

[CaptainCrunch]

In the day and age of the 350,000 condo apartment wouldn't selling three homes in a year get you into that club?

I mean, how many houses does a decent agent sell in a year?

[Barnet Flame]

I blew 50 bucks and all I got was this lousy slogan.

[Travis Munroe]

lol, million dollar club was about points. each sale depending on its value had points awarded. One needed a million points to get into the club.

I felt the need to post because it was disrespectful to the industry and to those who write copy and headlines for a living. I work with those people quite a bit, and they deserve better than to have their work treated like table scraps. You'd be better off asking for a pro-bono favor.

i say this to be helpful and not judgmental. if i was in the market for a condo i wouldnt use someone who posted a 50 dollar reward for helping with an ad on a hockey forum for his slogan. just my .02.

Yeah, but I see this as different. He's not asking professionals to use their expertise, he's asking a bunch of hockey fans to sit behind a computer and have some fun thinking up witty sign ideas, and if one of us comes up with a great one, we get an extra $50 in our pocket. I don't find that insulting at all. Especially considering most of us are being paid by our actual employers to come up with said slogan.

Yeah, but that will be besides the point if someone comes up with something hilarious/awesome. If it's catchy and it works then who cares. No one's going to drive by a bus ad and go "haha, that's catchy, I like it, but it seems like something that was created by a guy on a message board, so I won't use him".

[Travis Munroe]

this thread is quite a simple concept. If you see no value in my service over this thread, well, there is nothing I can do.
Table 5, I understand your point and didnt look at it from that perspective. Point taken and i do apologize if you took it as disrespectful to your industry. I think you know that it was not intended like that. We all see hundreds of bus benches a day and a very small portion of them are actually eye catching.
As CP is quite the creative community I figured I would throw it out there...

While I like it, I think this form of advertising will target drivers just as much as those who take the bus.

No worries, I'm not offended just offering my perspective.

We all see hundreds of bus benches a day and a very small portion of them are actually eye catching.

Which is exactly why you need someone who knows what they are doing. I'm guessing you're spending a good amount of money on these bus benches, so you need to make sure they garner results. Why not spend a little more and make sure that your message actually has a lasting impression? A good ad will generate interest in your services and pay you back many times over.

It's not just fun, it's his business. He's probably already spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on this advertising. Cheaping out on the actual message is going to cost him much more than just 50 bucks. It will waste his time and the money that went into purchasing the advertising space.

The message has to resonate and hold true. On my way to work, I keep seeing this bus bench of some dude advertising his real estate services... basically some pimple-faced teen with the generic tag-line of "a name you can trust". Right, you're fresh out of high school and I'm supposed to trust your vast experience. Probably paid $50 bucks for that too.

I saw one today with some dude's mug and then in giant letters beside it...

"WHY NOT?"

...I don't think you would want to use that one though
