I’ve been looking at the analytics for this site and I’m excited to start serving up some slices of advertising pie. There are currently four (4) available for immediate consumption. Those run $50 a month. Who’s hungry??

The site is generating 700+ views a month (THANK YOU!!) so this is a start. Pretty cheap rates if you ask me.

I reserve the right to decline your ad if I feel it’s not a good fit for the site. Payment will be due upon file submission and be paid via Paypal only. I’ll send you a link when your ad is approved.

Contact me with your design and I’ll send over a paypal link if it’s approved. Good luck!!

zappos… my new favorite campaign

I first saw this ad, “5 Ways to Add Elegance to Dresses” on Saturday and I fell in love. (I’m guessing part of that has to do with my love for puppets… or in this case, “Zuppets.”) But also the use of witty humor.

Take a look:

And then there’s this one, “Different Direction.”

Apparently these are all real phone calls into Zappos. Here’s “Jesse.” BRILLIANT.

Zappos, Powered by Real People

These are great ads that use the power of their brand. They’re taking actual phone calls and using them to create quirky, witty scenes inside Zappos. It’s touching, humorous and is true to their brand. This has great legs… I hope to continue seeing them around.

What could have been a very boring and expected PSA about car safety turned out to be something quite beautiful. This is so simple, but has such a HUGE impact. A great example of less-is-more.

What are your thoughts? Does this work? Is it enough? Too much? Do you “get it” right away or does it take a few watches?

Pomegranate Phone too good to be true

This new all-in-one device makes the iPhone look like the Zack Morris brick phone. It’s got a sweet website that’s worth the loading time to check out.

(too bad the phone’s a fake and it’s really an ad for Nova Scotia. No really.)
