I don’t know about you, but some of the most exciting and responsive ads I’ve come across online are FUN. When you’re really having fun sharing your business online, people want to know what you’ve got. A great way to market your business online is to spark some action.

Food venues and coffee shops may invite tribute artists to visit. Imagine, photos of Elvis sitting in the coffee shop with his customers? Or maybe his clients are younger and prefer Taylor Swift. My favorite recent marketing event was a joint effort with a coffee shop/bookstore where a book signing was held, and we invited members of the local football team to come and sign autographs.
