Nope, never.

Take that same budget and use it to take your 10 best clients to lunch over the next 5 weeks; that will pay off more than shopping carts. Unless you have a branding budget? Money goes out, ROI is minimal but branding is accomplished. I've never bought anything from anyone on shopping carts, bus benches or receipt tape.

No never on shopping carts or bus benches. They get covered up and at the grocery, everyone I know is in a hurry to get out of there,

Bad use of funds...get a better website and more domains.

I see them all the time, but I never invested in that kind of marketing....

Spend your money somewhere else - been there, done that (2008, I believe) and it didn't bring a dime!

I've done multiple park benches on several golf courses

- never had any luck - will discontinue doing future advertising in this area.

No 

No... these really don't work. It's a revolving sea of faces in my supermarket because agents find they don't work. I'm not in a supermarket myself to shop for an agent and their faces just become "background" noise.

Not the best place for marketing funds.

They call me trying to sell the service to me all the time, and I know other agents who have done it. Haven't heard if its successful though.

No...

No. 

NO. No.

Tried it.  One of the worst marketing decisions I ever made even though I know of success stories.   Fool me once....

No

No!! I have always thought this really tacky advertising.

no, those are useless.... those photos and contact info is an ego stroking for the agent....

If you have the money, sure but there are other ways to pick up business.

No.  I would not spend my money there.  I do not believe there would be a good ROI.

Yes to shopping carts but no to advertising on them.

Many stores have shopping carts both in the farm and near the farm.

Use to be the craze...not so today but subject to the area for consideration

No - waste of money

Kinda like putting your face on a bus stop bench that people can sit on LOL

I recently was surprised to see a local attorney marketing himself on a grocery store shopping cart... I think it 'cheapened' him...

William Piotrowski No

You will make the store very happy.

For me no

What will the message be that can attract the attention of a buyer BEFORE they block the display with those Brawny paper towels.

IF you are simply branding, you are flushing the money.

What is the conversation these shoppers are having with themselves?

There are blackhat ways to get that data or you can guess, experiment and test. EDD is a good white hat way to execute such a test.

Please don't consider 'Buying? Selling?" or "FREE CMA" as a good message for a shopping cart.

No. I was approached by a company who asked if I wanted my face plastered all over the shopping carts (well, that's not exactly how they worded it) and I could just see one of those carts careening down the grocery shopping driveway, smashing into a car, and guess whose face that driver would see?

No thank you.

NO !!!

No.  It's not cost effective and it's certainly tacky.

There are carts at most stores...

Depends on cost, most often could be better spent on targeting a market instead of a wide fishing exhibition

Not for me, but see it often!

no

No. I don't think it's worth the investment. 

Not me but I'm sure it works for those that use them.  I find better avenues to us my investment dollars.

Have never thought this was a good investment.

William Piotrowski - I'd say 'NO'!

William - No, I would never spend my marketing dollars on this option.  I did know an agent from my first office that did it for 2 years and never got a lead off of it.  There are much better ways to get your name in front of people, in my humble opinion.

Definately not!

Years ago my office talked with someone who's face owned every shopping cart in the city (we only had one or two markets then).  She had been on there for as long as anyone could remember, many years.  She never once got business from it, but when she would door knock, cold call or show up on a listing appointment people would have name and face recognition from the carts.  She claimed that helped her get a few clients.

I believe that they do have carts at most of our stores, why do you ask?
