Kirby Ball 07-06-2008, 10:55 PM Coreen and I were discussing a few of our past Brides that have just had babies, who are now pregnant and a few of them have had their babies before the Wedding.
Then all of a sudden this old boy gets an idea! Why not get baby bibs with our logo printed on them and send them/take them to the former clients as a small, yet (I believe) unique Thank You and Congrats on your new or not so new baby.
We've ordered our first 6 and have already handed out 2 today. One bib was given to a Bride that stopped by today to pick up her pictures for her little girl that was born about 6 months before their wedding. The other bride just delivered her youngster about 2 weeks ago....in the car on the way to the hospital! Both seemed to be tickled over the gesture.
Here's an image of what they look like...We are having all of them made in purple to avoid that whole blue for boy, pink for girl thing...
That's awesome and really out of the box. Much better than a refrigerator magnet. Money well spent Kirby now you just need to find a way to get a picture of all the little babies in one sitting wearing your bibs.
That would make an excellent billboard

Kirby Ball 07-06-2008, 11:28 PM Thanks, Kyle!
Yeah that would be something wouldn't it?
The Ball Babies Bib Billboard! :sqwink:
Hmmmm, might give people the wrong impression and they might assume that all of them are mine....:sqrolleyes::sqerr::sqlaugh:
Logisitical nightmare getting all those rugrats in one place at one time. Think of the smell from all those diapers.:sqerr:
I guess one could "Photoshop" them in?
First of all, we'd have to get the Parents' to sign a photo release...especially if we used their images for advertising.
Jon Tuck 07-07-2008, 02:52 AM You could have Coreen make it like a Ann Geddes type appeal. How cool is that?
thatmusicguy 07-07-2008, 07:47 AM You could get then bigger and give them to the older folks too......
Dave Winsor 07-07-2008, 08:26 AM Nice!
Dave
ps. How can we make this into a call to action? You know....a blank square with the words (Your baby's picture belongs here)! OR "Capturing every precious moment"
DJ Cam 07-08-2008, 12:13 AM I currenly don't contact past customers. I am planning to start sending anniversary cards to past clients.
I have noticed quite a few brides this year that were pregnat at their wedding.
Ruben Mora 07-08-2008, 12:24 AM You could get then bigger and give them to the older folks too......
Kirby, Are you going to give one to Rick?
Kirby Ball 07-09-2008, 07:30 PM Coreen wants to get some of these to spice up the garter throw..:sqeek::sqrolleyes:
DJ Dan 07-09-2008, 07:39 PM Coreen wants to get some of these to spice up the garter throw..:sqeek::sqrolleyes:
Is she modeling them? :sqwink: :sqbiggrin:
Kirby Ball 07-09-2008, 07:52 PM Is she modeling them? :sqwink: :sqbiggrin:
No, remember we're a Mom & Pop organization and we're old!:sqlaugh::sqrolleyes::sqwink:
Mr. K 07-09-2008, 08:00 PM Gee, why don't you just run a large banner with your logo across your table at every wedding?
What's the cost of these things? I hope that you jacked up your price.
Are babies going to be your clients?
How insulting. Why don't you hand out pacemakers, too?
Babies can't read.
Kirby Ball 07-09-2008, 08:18 PM Gee, why don't you just run a large banner with your logo across your table at every wedding?
We're working on that. Only we want to do it in bright neon lights. :sqerr:
What's the cost of these things? I hope that you jacked up your price.
Pretty nominal and definitely a lot less than some of the other forms of advertising that we've done....you know the kind where you spend way to much money on a print ad and see no results whatsoever. Yup, we've already raised our prices, we are now middle-level bottomfeeders.:sqwink:
Are babies going to be your clients?
God, I hope not.....I'd be so old that I would be needing one of those bibs for myself.:sqrolleyes:
How insulting. Why don't you hand out pacemakers, too?
Hmmm, never thought of it as insulting. Pacemakers, hmmmm I wonder if Jacob can hook me up with a supplier. :sqconfused:
Babies can't read.
They sure can't, and neither can most of the kids that graduate High School in the United States.:sqlaugh::sqwink:
Remember, Johnny we're trying to do something that no one in this area is doing and attempting to prove that we are a bit different from the rest. :D:sqwink:
Mr. K 07-09-2008, 08:23 PM Remember, Johnny we're trying to do something that no one in this area is doing and attempting to prove that we are a bit different from the rest. :D:sqwink:
Tuna and parsnip sandwiches are "different" too.
This thread is not worth my time. I'm just posting this to let you know that.

:sqlaugh::sqlaugh::sqlaugh::sqlaugh::sqlaugh: Have you been reading *that* blog again? Admit it that's your bible :rofl:
(sorry Kirb, didn't mean to jack your thread)

Gawd, we've been hijacked? :yoOMG:
Get Rick and tell him to bring weapons! :D
Jon Tuck 07-09-2008, 09:38 PM so if you put it on mens g strings, you could add Sack to the print.:sqwink:
Kirby Ball 08-05-2008, 12:34 AM Handed out a couple more bibs last weekend.
We knew that 2 of our former Brides would be attending this reception. One had just delivered and one is due any minute. :sqeek: They were tickled pink that we thought of them.
Sometimes you just have to put a smile on other's faces. :sqbiggrin:
DJ Young 08-05-2008, 09:38 AM I think this is an excellent idea and it would seem like such a personal gift to each bride I bet.
young...
Karl Langford 08-05-2008, 10:41 AM Better send one of those bibs to Ben for his new baby Grace.
jfactor1 08-05-2008, 03:27 PM Maybe Papa could use them in his BBQ joint when he opens is.
Papa Deuce's Ball BBQ? :eek:

ahoustondj 08-05-2008, 08:19 PM You could get then bigger and give them to the older folks too......

Kirby Ball 08-05-2008, 08:22 PM Nahhhhhhh! Just have them prinnted on "Depends" for the old geezers!
Nah, we'd want to be as green as we can, so we'd just get the largest cloth diapers we could find......No disposables for us....:sqwink::sqrolleyes:
Kirby Ball 09-14-2008, 07:24 PM Here's one of the bibs in action at a reception a few weeks back. :)
NLFX Pro 09-15-2008, 08:29 PM Awesome idea Karl! :thumbsup:
