Real Faces Billboard Campaign Proofs

by Extreme John on September 16, 2009 |

A few days ago I wrote a post titled “Twitter Pre-Launch Marketing” where I explained how I decided to use Twitter as an outlet to pre-release our new “Real Faces Billboard Campaign” for Extreme Tan and Smoothies.

I promised that I would share the proofs with you once I received them from my boy Mike over at Clear Channel Outdoor, for those of you that are not familiar with the term “proofs” it simply is the example art work for your advertisement, in the event you needed to make changes to your ad or the ad design you would make those changes on the proof and resubmit it for changes to the designer.

If you look at the image to the upper left of this post, the sexy blond bombshell is the girl we have been using for over 5 years on print ads, vehicle wraps and billboards. It was time for a change, below you see the next wave of Extreme Tan and Smoothies billboards and they are all part of the Real Faces campaign.

We recently had a wave of internal promotions and we figured that it would be a blast if we had all of the girls being promoted or celebrating a longevity anniversary featured on the billboards with a small message.

The billboards you see here will be displayed for the next 30 days all over random locations within Pinellas County, Extreme Tan and Smoothies has six locations in Pinellas County Florida.

I have already decided what changes we will be making to the billboards for next month and I think it should be a pretty big hit, everyone seems to really love the new billboards we recently did for mobile spray tanning that featured Melissa. The next wave of Extreme Tan and Smoothies billboards will be geared at thanking some of our long term customers for staying loyal to our tanning salons and services over the past 5 years, we will do this by featuring those customers on billboards around town.

Since we only photographed four Extreme tan and Smoothies girls for this billboard campaign and we have 8 billboards planned, I decided to change up a previous billboard with a new offer. The additional four billboards will feature Melissa advertising the first ever billboard spray tanning special we have ever done, we will be advertising $10 Spray Tans for the entire month that these billboards will be on display.

I want to thank Megan, Kristen, Shayna and Nicole for being part of the new Real Faces Billboard campaign, I have a feeling we will be seeing some new faces on the billboards again real soon. Thanks again girls you all looked amazing and did an excellent job, we def had fun with it.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think of our new advertising and marketing campaign, if you are more of the silent type and you would just rather follow me on Twitter so you can see the behind the scenes picture tweets of the next billboard shoot thats fine too.

P.s. As you can see we don;t play games when it comes to taking care of our customers, we work hard daily to ensure that we are offering our customers the best service and the best prices at all times. Specials like our $10 Spray Tans and Unlimited Monthly Tanning for Only $14.83 can’t be beat, and in the event someone feels a little crazy please keep in mind that we have a 10% Match and Beat price Guarantee, we stand behind our prices!

Great looking campaign John! I had no problem with the last girl either, but I understand that you need to change stuff up now and again to keep things fresh. Great job!

Also… if I was big into tanning and lived in your neck of the woods… I would definitely be tanning and drinking a smoothie at one of your stores :)

Definitely an attention-grabbing campaign! And its sort of “real” and “personable” too, that you could walk in and see the same person up on the billboards around town. Very nice, Tampa is about to get some good scenery 8) John@Web Biz´s last blog ..Musicians vs Industry in UK Sharing Debate (and some free music too) My ComLuv Profile

Great billboards. What I like best are the colors you have chosen, they blend real well with the “sun” :wink: I also have to say that your prices seem to be a knockout. I obviously do not know your market, but here, I charge 10€ for a fifteen minute session on my tanning beds. How is it possible that you only charge $14.83. How many sessions or minutes will that translate to in real terms?

Anyway, and as usual, all the best to your business. It so seems that you guys are working hard to make your business prosper. All the best

Great idea giving props to your dedicated staff, and your next phase should get your regulars to step it up and come in more often as well! It is a great way to show your appreciation, and puts a real face to those running the shop. It doesn’t hurt that you have some lookers working for you in the first place. Great hiring big man.

Maybe if you branch out to L.A. you could do a before/after campaign featuring Conan O’Brien walking in to your salon, then George Hamilton walking out in the same clothes sipping a smoothie. Just an idea.

The girls look really hot. I’ll bet you have a lot of guys tanning. I doubt that’s a coincidence.

I like the colors also. Bright colors say “sun” to me.

If I was in Tampa, I would certainly be using ETAS for my indoor tanning needs. Especially with those gorgeous girls.

I can’t wait to see how hot your customers are.

Great Campaign, I love the fact that you run a real brick and morter business, but share and talk about it via social media and your blog.

Thanks for sharing seem like everyone can learn a lot from a real world business man like yourself. The billboards look great wish I was still living in Florida. I never got why tanning was so hugh their being the sunshine state and all but I do recall tanning meself regularly when I lived their.
