A number of months in the past, I had the pleasure of spending just a few days with a consumer, Carl Hixon. Carl is the proprietor of Georgio’s Pizza in Pensacola, Florida. Each morning, he picked me up at his oceanfront apartment and we went to work. One morning was totally different than the remainder. After I walked out to hop in his truck, I couldn’t assist however discover a really giant white procuring bag on the roof of his Honda. It had an unmistakable Georgio’s brand on it. It appeared like Carl had set it on the roof and forgot it.
In actuality it was a ploy. Carl and I actually hit it off as a result of his thoughts is mischievous, like mine. Upon shut examination and clarification, Carl peeled the bag off the roof. It was custom-made from additional heavy vinyl and metallic wire reinforcing corners. It had a stable backside and 4 50-pound grip magnets. Drain holes within the backside made it waterproof. It was very properly constructed and appeared hurricane proof. As we made our 10-minute drive to the restaurant, we turned the focus for dozens of fellow commuters. They honked, waved, pointed, shouted, waved their fingers and made alerts to alert us to the truth that we had a bag on the roof of the truck. I couldn’t consider the eye we acquired. We smiled, waved again and even stopped and thanked them for bringing it to our consideration.
On reflection, I believe it might be very memorable if, after we had been alerted that the bag was on the roof, we had common paper procuring baggage — brand printed on — to present to the parents we ran throughout. Within the bag could be a menu, bounce-back certificates, fridge magnet and different goodies.
I’ve talked about this concept to a choose group of pals, and they’re most likely going to present it a whirl. In an ocean of horses, the lone zebra stands out. What a method to put a smile on everybody’s face.
For those who’d like his spin on the way it has labored out for him, Carl has agreed to let Pizza Right now print his e-mail handle: [email protected]. ?
