Anyway, the only thing I've ever seen them used for is when you have people that are waiting for service - and they take a number from the thing.

I was surprised that it had NEVER occurred to me that it could be used for anything else.

They are using it to allow someone to "take a tab" if they are interested in a driving job.

Hi John,

Thanks for sharing that... It seems like a pretty good promotional idea!

I think some people might take and keep the tab, even just out of curiosity... But you never know, that could lead to it being more effective overall. They could later fish it out of their pockets, and at that moment realize that they need the service being promoted...!

Best wishes,

Dien

This is a great idea, John, but I can't find anywhere online to have the rolls custom printed. Seems like something that would be a "novelty pull," giving an advertiser a gold opportunity to get the offer in front of eyes.

A long time ago, I used to "know" Dennis Bevers (met him on the late Lesley Fountain's Friendsinbusiness forum), who's a distributor for a marketing printing type company - so I did a search and pulled up his details for you -

I don't know if a search for "tickets" will reveal the right answer to this, but it may be a start
