Interesting Frum-magnet business practices

This same ad with this same picture of Chasidishe bocherim rafting has been used by this place for years and years. I wonder if these bocherim even know that their mugs have been bringing this guy business from the Frum community for so many years. Also, if you look at the ad, the guy says to call and ask for 'Yidel', his name is really 'Julius' (as he is called by everyone during the entire year) and he only uses the name 'Yidel' to get Frum people to think that he is 'fin inzere'.


Comments:
If hes been using the same picture for "years and years", then they are likely not "bochorim" anymore.

Also, it should be noted that many 'fin inzere' businessmen use ads targeted at various 'minority' or other secular communities that use imagery and others sorts of advertisements that give the impression that it is a service being offered by one of them.

 

Hey there Chaptzem,

Thanks for the free advertising! I can't believe how much the Yeshiva is charging for ads this year, and you are giving it to me for free! Hey come by, and I'll give you a free hour!

Chappy, I don't see anything wrong with this kind of advertising. I think it's clever. He is obviously trying to accomodate the community, and I admire that.
