Thanks Phil,

What a fantastic find!

Not too long ago I was walking around the city streets, when I was accosted by...

A Monster!

More specifically, it was the "Burger Monster"! It looked like a walking hamburger, with a single eye...

The burger monster thrust a menu in my hand, then went on (his? her?) way to "attack" other pedestrians with leaflets...

Of course, it was a man or woman (I couldn't tell which) in a costume, advertising a new restaurant opening.

Here you can kind of see a picture showing kind of what it looked like...

(I have no connection with them.)

Walking placards, and people in costume have long been a way for businesses to get the attention of pedestrians for local advertisers... The "street barker" looks like an interesting "twist" on the idea!

Thanks for sharing that find... :)

Every year at Ski Season time in the Ski Resports of Aspen & Vail, Colorado...there used to be (haven't been back for 15 yrs) college kids who'd walk around town with the "A" signs that had ads on front and back.

Allowed these outgoing kids to live a good life during the season. They sold the ads, decorated the signs and walked around town in the morn and late afternoon. During the day they were skiing.

On the homepage of streetbarker you'll find a revision/edited intro (below the telephone number about the full scope and breadth of the concept as it first came about. It is very broad in scope and could engage a high number of talented intelligent young people. Unique concepts/phrases occur often to me.
