This has to be the weirdest marketing scheme ever.

It's trying to pretend that it's not an MLM scheme. The thing that's weird is the sticker. You have to order a sticker, put it on your car, and then send a picture of your car with the sticker on it to the company to show how "serious" you are about making money with it. And their sticker is a giant eyeball looking at you. LMAO. They're trying to create a 1984 world where everyone on Earth drives around in cars with giant eyeballs looking at you.

well its deffiantly working if your positing about it now isn't it.

alternative advertising, gorilla marketing are great ways to promote things.

this is deffiantly not the worst or "weirdest" I have seen I had to do a 10 page assignment of alternative advertising and marketing their are some really weird things out their companies use to promote their products.

Not such a bad idea but I can't believe people do that for money..
I like the dog shirt on the site though, I should make one for my dog with my url on it

Ha, true.

I think I've actually seen some people driving around with these stickers.

I wish I was the person in charge of it. The first thing I would do is fix the on-page SEO.

with the competition on the internet now days its the ones thinking outside the box that are going to make the money. we have been promoting off line products creatively on line for years now so why not the other way around.

maybe i'll sign up just for the giant eyeball sticker.........

I don't know a sane person who would do that...
