The biggest benefit of Guerilla marketing is: I get most bang for my buck. Close second is I get to use my creativity.

Here is an example:

I offered to provide doggie treats to independent coffee shops with patios. They often get lots of customers with dogs and often they do offer doggie treats etc. to their customers (which is an expense for them.)

Now I buy the treats, I replenish the box when empty, and they get the happy customers. It’s a win-win-win.

I get pretzels from Costco ($8) I donate the pretzels to friends, family, guys on the side of road who will work for food etc.  Then I fill the container with treats.

This is what it looks like.

I place the treats in a high visibility spot. So both me and the coffee shop owner can benefit from this added value.

The owners are more than happy to promote my business, and allow me to put an 8×10 sign with my name and number.

So what?

I have been doing this for a month. I have 3 coffee shops/cafes. and as a result I made 2 sales.

Naturally I will continue to do this indefinetly, and now I am going after chain coffe shops with cool managers.

I hope this helps
