In the beginning of the semester, we were asked to think of our selves as a product or a brand. well two recent grad students in the UK have done that and brought it to a whole new level. They have begun selling space on their face for ad's. They started the company BuyMyFace.com and are not selling spots on their face for up to $750 a day and have raised over $50,000 in the past 6 month. The spots were originally about $1.50 per ad per day but to to increased popularity they are selling 500 times more than there original price. They are allowing companies to physically brand them. I think this is such a simple idea and it is clearly working for these guys. I cant think of anything legal that would draw more attention than a logo on someones face walking down the street. Would you sell a spot on your face for $750 a day? I think I would. Has anyone heard of anything else like this?
