During his presentations, the CEO would ask for questions and promise a $2 bill as an incentive to everyone who asked a question. It definitely got people participating, it demonstrated the power of incentives, and it was quirky enough to be remembered. I still have a $2 bill laying around.

Joshue, I had the same concern as you regarding the treatment to U.S. currency. But the stickers are actually easy to pull off, so I think we're okay. Cheers, Patrick Thanks for your comments, all.

It definitely gets people to look at it and go to the site. The "Where's George" viral campaign that started 7+ years ago immediately comes to my mind. But what about laws against defaming U.S. currency? Does the government ignore it in cases like these? Or can I just not complete Abraham Lincoln's full-on beard with a marker? In any case, I think this is an effective, fairly low-cost way to promote an organization's events locally. :) I think the $2 bill + 1 sticker idea is neat.

You are much more likely to hang on to it because it's real money and the fact that it puts some of the historical art in perspective (it's on a bill) makes it more interesting. If I had one, I'd show it to others too, which is the power of word of mouth. I think it’s great.
