Relatively New Advertising Trend... Sign Spinning!

[Dien Rice]

They don't have them in my part of the world yet, though you may have seen them around... They're the...

Sign Spinners!

Essentially, they're a "new" version of the "human billboard". You know, the guy wearing a "sandwich board" with advertising on it, who walks around all day to promote a retail store or something like that...

"Sign spinning" takes that idea, and turns it into acrobatics!

The benefit of it is it GRABS attention!

In fact, it gets SO much attention, that some authorities are talking about banning it - because it can distract people and cause accidents!

Here's a great video of a sign spinner...
