I've had an offer for Nicholas Cage to use my app to land a Boeing 737 in a major motion picture. That's probably the high priced equivalent of guy in hot dog suit, though, as they want five figures. It makes sense that the guy in hot dog suit works. It's extremely well targeted and timely. The guy who sees that can satisfy his immediate hunger by spending more on hot dogs in ten minutes than he spends on apps in an entire year. He'll then spend several months deciding if any of the apps on his phone are worth spending a few bucks on. Targeted marketing doesn't require gourmet hot dogs. It just needs a hungry crowd.
