Old Ads. New Ideas.
My buddy Troy White from the Duct Tape Blog Channel recently shared an interesting resource for marketing inspiration -- an online archive of "hard to find ads."

It's a collection of classic/retro ads that proved successful for their respective companies, and with the speed that ideas get recycled, this could prove to be a valuable repository of ideas you can apply and adapt for modern times.

Be warned -- the "free" registration is lengthy (they site owner could probably make a ton of money simply offering the option to 'bribe' your way in with a buck to bypass the B.S.), but my bet is that access to the archive will prove worth the time spent.

You can find Troy's review of the site HERE -- or link directly to the page by visiting HardToFindAds.com.
