Why Should Your Business Use Pavement Chalk Advertising?

Since Jay Conrad coined the term in 1984, ‘guerrilla marketing’ has been an enormously popular way for businesses to advertise their products and services in unconventional ways. Rather than permanently displaying graffiti art, however, there are excellent temporary advertising techniques like sidewalk advertising that have become remarkably popular in recent years.

SIDEWALK ADVERTISING

Utilizing stencils to transfer your logo or message onto pavement or cement has never been easier or more eye-catching. Popular techniques include using power-washing tools, temporary spray paints, or vibrant chalk paint.  It’s a colorful and creative way to get your message out there without being stuck with a permanent option, and it’s flexible enough to be reused year after year.

Let’s take a minute to consider the plight of a small café owner.  She’s noticed that her company doesn’t do as much business in the afternoons as it does in the mornings.  She wants to increase traffic during the slower hours and differentiate herself from the big-brand coffee shops that have a seemingly unlimited marketing budget.  Her tactic? Advertising literally under the consumer’s nose with pavement advertising.
