Glad you came along, that was our second event and we were still getting our format right. The speakers were fantastic. I want a boxer as my brand ambassador.

Absolutely no faux pas in shameless self promotion at these sort of events. Isn’t that what they are all about? Sharing stories about what each are doing online. I was trying to get everyone to write their twitter handle on their name tags at the door.

I reckon real world branding reinforces the social presence quite a bit. Although I will admit to not knowing the Flippa brand at the time and not seeing the t shirt that night.

I was thinking about this exact same thing on the weekend. My business focusses on one particular industry/market (mining industry) so it makes sense at industry events to have your brand literally on. Last week I had on a shirt with my website logo on it front and back and just walking around the airport it was remarkable how many people were looking at it. And because of the airport it was and the time of day it was, I know that many of them are in the mining industry.

My suggestion would be though to add your website address under the logo and even on the back (top, centre). Give people (like me) who might not ask a way to find out what the hell that shirt was you were wearing!

Cheers,
Jamie

Good for you Luke – Guerilla market the heck out of Flippa!
