29. This is an actual image of a fake road sign we designed and attached to real
directional signs. Knowing this stretch of road backs up on Saturdays with
beach traffic, we thought it was a smart way to point people toward Taco Boy.

People paint birthday and anniversary messages on it almost every day.
We painted Taco Boy on the boat for the grand opening.

31. This guerrilla marketing message involved a homemade
“car for sale” sign, a phone number and voicemail.
Friday, May 3, 13

32. When people called to inquire about the car for sale,
they were treated to the voicemail message above.
“Hi, this is Wendy. If you’re calling about the car, it’s been
sold to Taco Boy. He’s looking forward to some road trips,
getaways and maybe an occasional high-speed police
chase. Taco Boy’s motto is skip siesta – let’s fiesta. You
ought to go hang out with him at his new restaurant on
Folly Beach. It’s really cool and the food is good too. Ask
him to tell you about his trip to Vegas with his best
friend’s mom. You’ll laugh your butt off. The poor woman
came this close to polygamy. Anyway, go visit Taco Boy at
Folly. And if you have a little too much fiesta fun, maybe
he’ll drive you home in his new car. As long as you
promise not to barf in it.”

33. Another clever Taco Boy tactic was fake parking tickets.
Street teams ticketed the cars of beach-goers.The tickets directed
people to Taco Boy for a good scolding and a refreshing cocktail.
