Advertising a sale right outside your business can get you customers who wouldn't show up otherwise. When you're at home and you see an advertisement on television, on the internet, or in the newspaper, it can be easier to resist the temptation of whatever's being advertised. The sale isn't right in front of you. You would have to get ready to go, leave the house, and get to wherever the sale is. Advertising to people who are already passing by makes a sale harder to resist. The sale is right in their path. It wouldn't be too much of a detour to stop in. People who had no plans to step into your business might be persuaded to do it on impulse. One of the best ways to advertise a sale and bring in impulse shoppers is using an inflatable tube man.
These wacky guys go by many names. But, whether you call them inflatable tube men, air dancers, sky dancers, or some other zany name, one thing people can agree on is that they're fun to see. Tube men have friendly faces and funky dance moves that make people smile and laugh. And, if people are smiling and laughing at the tube men, they're paying attention to them. That is exactly what you want people to do. Once people are paying attention to the tube men, they'll be looking for the sale the tube men are supposed to be drawing attention to.
Even the rare sticks-in-the-mud who don't like seeing a tube man dancing in the breeze will be paying attention. The human eye is drawn to movement. This is why flags that flap in the wind are another popular method of advertising. But, since a tube man is much bigger than a flag and moves more freely, it's likely to attract more attention than a flag could.
An inflatable tube man is a perfect way to draw in customers who wouldn't have stopped in otherwise. The movement of the tube man will draw their attention whether they want it to or not. Then, they'll see the fun, friendly face and funky fresh dance moves of the tube man and know there's a sale going on. And seeing a sale that's right in their path may just persuade them to make a quick detour to look around and see what you have to offer.
