Austin Shoe Hospital

A shoe repair shop nailed street marketing with zero clever slogans or discounts. Just a board showing side-by-side photos of “before” and “after” repaired shoes. Passersby couldn’t help but stop and think, “Wait, mine could look like that?”
Why this works
- Visual proof beats any sales pitch
- It taps into transformation and curiosity
- Instant understanding—no reading required
- Feels authentic and trustworthy
More “Before/After” Winners
- Fitness coaches showing client transformations
- OxiClean showing stained vs. spotless shirts
- Dentists showing yellow vs. white smiles
- Furniture restorers showing dull vs. shiny finishes
Simple visuals. Huge selling power.
