One Stop Shopping

I like to read billboards, and one I saw yesterday piqued my interest. Readers familiar with Marion will remember Bill’s Liquors on Court Street. The marquee billboard in front of Bill’s store front advertises “Flu Shots $ .99” (click picture to maximize). I don’t know if this is a joke or if Bill actually is administering flu shots. If he is, is he a Medicare provider? Seasonal flu shots normally cost about $25.00 so Bill is offering a great deal. Maybe Bill has created an injectable version of Jello shots. I didn’t stop to check it out because I didn’t need any liquor, and I already have gotten both the seasonal and H1N1 flu shots. Even if this is a joke, it proves unique advertising certainly gets attention.
