Default Creative/Funny Banner Advertising

I'm in a location that has a significant amount of car traffic driving by. I want to take advantage of that with some funny creative advertising for a large banner space I have.

Many of you have some creative minds so I wanted to throw some of the services out to you and see what everyone can come up with when we start to take advantage of this. I want a bold headline that will get attention, be creative and get people talking.

Here are some of the ideas so far. What ideas do you have?

1. Got Fat?
Easy Fat Loss Here!

2. Euro Tanning
Because Tan Fat Looks Better Than White Fat

3. Yellow Teeth?
Affordable Teeth Whitening Here!

4. Stop Looking Old!
The Fountain of Youth For Your Skin is Here!(LED Phototherapy)

I'm looking for any others that you might have for the above and possibly for some of the other services listed below.

5. Spray Tanning (Mystic)
6. Massage
7. Hydration & Alpha Spa Capsule - (Skin Hydration & Dry Sauna)
8. Body Detox

I am not sure how funny the banners are-they seem kind of offending. Try something with vitamin D.

They might be if you don't have a sense of humor. I've used the Tan Fat slogan on t-shirts and got a really great response not too long ago. We still have people wearing them at our next door Gym today.

However, that's why I'm throwing it out to this group as I would really appreciate any creative AND funny(if possible) slogan ideas. Vitamin D on a 3-5 second drive by is not going to cause someone to look and walk in the door. That's something that you need to educate someone who is already in the door imo. In addition, we have many more services than just tanning as a number of people on here do.

Any catchy ideas, funny or not, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Esun, I think I've got more than enough tanning ideas from that one. Now just need to round out some of the other services.


North - they could be better that's for sure. Looking for ideas.

I think you have to be provocative to a degree to get some attention, that might offend some. Does "Got Fat? Easy Fat(or weight) Loss Here" get more attention and potential traffic or "Easy Weight Loss Here" accomplish the same? That's the question. Teeth whitening will need some work for sure. Affordable Teeth Whitening may have to work.

Ideas?

TEETH: "yellow to white" in 3 applications

TANNING: "zero to tan" in 3 sessions

OR, Do both!! Have white teeth and a nice golden glow in 3 short sessions

Our salon just received several copies of the new Dr. Mercola book "Dark Deception" and on page 99 there is a sub chapter regarding sex and the sun. He has a study to back up a claim that uv exposure on a naked male will help boost his sex drive by 30%
Sex sells and gets attention! Why not give that a try? Pick up the book it is a great read - page 99 being our salon favourite!
