Is Your Advertsing Unique?

by Christopher D. Anderson on January 22, 2010

So I’m dri­ving down the road the other day doing my shop­ping and pick­ing up stuff we need. I see some­thing that I haven’t seen in a long time. Some­one stand­ing out in front of Lit­tle Ceaser’s Pizza with a big sign.

On the sign is an adver­tise­ment for one of their sales. This is noth­ing new by any means. This form of adver­tise­ment has been used quite a bit by a lot of busi­nesses. But it still stuck out to me. Why?

Well for one thing no one else is doing this. As I said, I haven’t seen that for a long time. So it stuck out to me. Did it make me want to go eat at Lit­tle Ceaser’s Pizza? No not really, I’ve never been a big fan. But I remem­ber it. It stuck out to me.

So my ques­tion for you is this: Is your adver­tis­ing stick­ing out? Or does it look like all the other adverts plas­tered across the net?

While stand­ing out in the cold in a Lit­tle Ceaser out­fit (I felt sorry for them, brrr) isn’t unique in that it’s been done before, it is unique in that no one else doing it right now.

Hav­ing a unique adver­tise­ment may not mean doing some­thing new and dif­fer­ent. While that will def­i­nitely help you can use older tac­tics as well. The point is to stick out from the crowd.

What ideas can you come with to stick out from the rest of the adverts? What makes your other con­tent unique? Such as your blogs or products.
