Human Bandit Signs
Has anyone had any success hiring someone to hold a bandit sign for you? Something like this:

It seems to get around ticking off the city (or being illegal) while still getting your message out. The question is, like all marketing:
Does it work?
I would love to hear if anyone has tried this?

I actually DID the human bandit sign thing... I'm an investor just starting out. I found another investor at the local REIA that has has some real success and joined his mentoring group. Because I have very little money to start out with he gave me the homework of making a sign and standing out on a local corner with it. Results so far?? The first day between 4pm and 6pm nothing, but the second day I got a good lead! I'm pretty excited! Just a couple hours a day in a high traffic area with a $15 sign payed off so far.
