These people work hard every day!! As for the marketing aspect, all of these including online marketing are intertwined, they are not separate, a true marketer takes advantage of everything, so in that aspect you are incorrect.

It draws attention. It shifts eyes from the static signs to the animated one. Especially in areas with signs on every building the name of the game is to get noticed. Who cares if there are some self-righteous snobs who turn their noses up at businesses who use sign spinners... it's a numbers game. The more eyes you can get to notice your sign (business) the more revenue you will pull in. It's a simple statistical advantage. People don't have to think your method of advertising is the most "respectable" they just have to notice that you exist. What is out of touch is people trying to make their advertising overly professional... people want REALITY, not uptight corporate looking stuff. Uh… this is not out of touch. It draws attention.

Some companies have sign spinning trainers to train the sign spinners. It must be working because if companies are willing to spend time and money to train their workers.

I am a Sign Spinner on weekends to help make ends meet for my family in our current economy and its challenges. We live in Florida, and it gets quite hot. Appreciate your observations, open-mindedness and respect. Its IS a tough job, but it has its rewards. What other job pays you to work on your tan and act a little crazy while getting some great cardio? Plus, the friendly waves back and camaraderie with people in traffic actually makes me feel more connected to mankind. Its heartwarming when people do notice and cheer, smile, shout and wave. Truckers blow their air horns, policemen salute, its awesome! Sure you get a few rotten apples, mostly teenagers flicking you off on the way to the mall to prove they are tough stuff to their friends, however the good far out weighs the bad. Feel every energized after work despite the sun. Its a big esteem boost. Thank you again for your kind words. Hope employers share your zeal, because I am currently looking for a second job. Wish me luck! Have a super day! --Sign Twirling Dee ^_^ Thank You so Much Hazel!

I am saying they are out of touch because most consumers are not persuaded by sales pitches or gimmicks any longer. Your action to pull over & patronize the food establishment because of a sign spinner is understandable but I am certain they cannot sustain their revenue goals with this tactic. I.m sure them having great food that is good on the pocketbook as well is more likely doing more for them to create a buzz and get people coming in the door than any outside bling bling they can come up with...except giving it away for free of course!Thanks again Steve.

Why would this business be growing so fast if it did not work? why repeat customers if it did not draw in people? I was running my lawn route the other day, saw a spinner advertising a lunch special at a Mexican restuarant. Worked on me, I pulled in ordered a meal. Out of touch? why would you say that?
