You ever insured the life of a Fish?

It doesn’t matter what size your business is: people love promotions that offer up huge potential prizes to be won. Many small businesses think that this domain belongs only to the big companies. They couldn’t be further from the truth.

It reminds me of a fishing tournament in home state of Minnesota . Someone was putting one together one time and the signup wasn’t looking too good. So you know what they did? They offered a life insurance policy upon a specific fish that was tagged with a clip that would reward the one who caught it will a million dollars. The media outlets caught that story so quick that it spread everywhere in the region and was talked about by everybody. Of course it wasn’t just any old insurance company that underwrote it. It was Lloyds of London, no less; which even added more to the story. Everybody loved it. The tournament was a tremendous success which drew tons of interest in case the tagged fish ended up on somebody’s line.

This was quite a while ago when this happened. And the tournaments of this type were not run or backed by large corporate donors by any means or stretch of the imagination.

This type of buzz never goes away or gets old.

It doesn’t matter what type of business you’re in, if you promote this type of thing with the right subject matter e.g. the million dollar policy on the life of a fish and in the right way; it just guarantees an excellent marketing success for your company. The media loves this type of story and are all over it.

What might surprise you is that this type of thing is quite affordable for the smaller company looking for a marketing feeding frenzy. This will do it.

Here is a website that works with those that are experienced in these types of promotions.
