The Latest Trend-Political Advertisement on Tote Bags

     For the past weeks, my family has been recieving about two to six ads a day involving local politicians. With each new ad, its like they're trying to outdue themselves and make something more appealing or eye-catching. Recently however, we received the most attention-grabbing political ad of all- we received a tote bag. Now it wasn't just any tote bag, it was a tote bag that had the name, "Yee" written across it in big black letters, and red accents decorated around the rest of it. Very stylish. We received this tote bag as advertisement from the Sacramento city politician Joe Yee who is running to be on City Council. What struck me most about this form of advertisement was how much money it must of cost to send these out to various Sacramento homes. What I also found interesting about giving people tote bags as a form of advertisement was how, if people actually use the tote bag, it also works as advertisement towards other people because it acts as a walking billboard basically. Overall, I think giving people a tote bag to advertise for Joe Yee is a very smart way to advertise, yet very strange as well...Above is one of the regular ads for Joe Yee.
