Bars, Beers, Bathrooms, and Advertisments

I noticed lately that everytime I go to a bar, and then I go into the bathroom there is an adverisement on the back of the stall door. Before this class, I never noticed or paid any attention to any type of advertisement. But now I've become very aware of commercials, billboards, and any other form of advertisment. I sit there and figure out if I like it or not and if I dont what is wrong with it.

Well since recently turning 21 in August combined with taking RCS-362, I now seem to always see the bathroom advertising and I think it is a great way to advertise! When you go to a bar, you are most likely going to do some drinking. Drinking more and more is going to make you go to the bathroom more often. So when you go so much, you are bound to notice the advertisment on the back of the door and read it every single time you go. In my opinion I definetly think that this is a great way to get more people to know about your business, and i have seen that it is becoming more and more popular.

I love bathroom advertisements. It's a great way to find out what’s going in the world. Some retail stores put their event schedules on the back of bathroom doors. Allot of the dorms put fun facts on theirs. It’s a great place to advertising; you’re guaranteed that a large amount of people will see it.

Bathroom advertisments are very popular and I think that they are very affective. New items, students discounts, shows and upcoming events are plastered on the walls and in stales. You get a variety of people that see your asdvertisements, and you can target your group whether it is in a men's or women's restroom. As well all know women go to the bathroom so it definitly gets the word out there, and with the variety of bars and clubs around you will touch everyone that you need you with your ad.

I think bathroom advertisements are great. The bathroom is a place that is frequented by many costumers in any business so why not advertise there to. It is effective because you don’t find as many advertisements in the bathroom as you would in say a magazine; there are usually only one maybe two, so there is no issue of clutter. The ads are also almost always placed in an area where you can’t miss them. Overall I think bathroom ads are great because they get your attention in a way that other advertising locations cannot.
