(PRLEAP.COM) Whittier, California. A new outdoor advertising and event promotion company announced its presence in a big way during the recent Newport Harbor Boat Parade held this past holiday season in Newport Beach, California. The announcement came in the form of a 20 foot tall inflatable Santa Claus cruising the harbor atop a multi-million dollar yacht during the run of the parade. The company responsible for putting him there was Made-U-Look Promotions of Whittier, California.
Made-U Look Promotions is a rental company specializing in outdoor inflatable advertising balloons, searchlights, inflatable dancers and many other attention-getting promotional products. From its central location in the San Gabriel Valley, Made-U-Look Promotions services all of Southern California with outdoor advertising and event promotions.
Brandon M. Reeves, President and Founder of Made-U-Look Promotions, has parlayed his previous experience in the outdoor advertising industry to identify an overlooked niche in the outdoor advertising marketplace. He formulated a solution to satisfy these market needs by providing a means for advertising rentals, offering high quality products and competitive pricing, and making these products available to customers who could not previously justify the high cost of purchasing outdoor advertising tools.
Made-U-Look Promotions opened its doors for business this past summer, with Brandon and his wife Jennifer Reeves leveraging their personal holdings to take advantage of this business opportunity. Jennifer serves as the company’s Vice President of Operations, and handles all daily administrative activities. They also partnered with Matthew Barden, whom Brandon had previously worked several years with in the outdoor advertising industry. Matthew serves as the company’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing and oversees the company’s business development needs.
The business plan of Made-U-Look Promotions is based on helping clients optimize their promotional dollars by increasing their visibility and bringing more customers to their doorstep. Brandon explains the logic behind renting versus purchasing an outdoor advertising balloon: “If you spend your promotional dollars on purchasing a 25 foot tall gorilla, you are forced to build your promotional messages around this advertising balloon all year long. However, with our advertising rental programs, you can rent a 16 foot tall duck one weekend, and a Stars & Stripes hot air balloon the next! We offer our clients the flexibility to keep their promotional landscape fresh without the huge investment required by purchases. Additionally, all of our rental pricing includes product set-up, take-down, maintenance and storage. All of this saves our clients from the upfront investment, time and hassles of ownership!” Made-U-Look Promotions works with each client’s advertising budget and marketing calendar to effectively plan the roll-out of a diverse outdoor advertising campaign.
Matthew states, “If you have a retail outlet that is fighting for attention due to over-saturation of local advertising messages, you have to go over-the-top BIG to have stopping power. Made-U-Look Promotions offers just that. Our clients enjoy all the benefits of ownership, without any of the inherent liabilities. My goal is for our clients to consider us their primary resource and partner for their promotional needs instead of just another advertising balloon vendor”.
The principles of Made-U-Look Promotions firmly believe that to be successful they first need to build strong relationships with their clients. They strongly encourage feedback regarding the company’s customer service. They feel that actively seeking feedback from clients is a valuable tool in refining their service model and ensures that every customer receives outstanding service.
By going beyond the typical users of large scale outdoor advertising products, Made-U-Look Promotions is bringing its advertising rental programs to businesses, institutions and organizations that have traditionally had to forgo the use of such items due to the limiting factors of cost and usage restrictions. Made-U-Look Promotions sees the potential usage of its products for every storefront and event in Southern California.
Made-U-Look Promotions is keeping a keen eye on the factors of taste, professionalism, and appropriateness, while maintaining the fun and light-hearted nature their products are known for. Like their line of outdoor advertising products, Made-U-Look Promotions will be very hard to ignore in the Southern California advertising market. Look for their products to show up at a business or event near you.

High court hears pro-life group’s challenge of advertising ban
By Staff
Baptist Press
WASHINGTON (BP)--A pro-life organization urged the U.S. Supreme Court Jan. 17 to support its freedom to mention public officials by name in advocacy advertising in the weeks before elections.
The justices heard oral arguments in Wisconsin Right to Life’s challenge of a portion of the 2002 federal campaign finance reform law. An opinion in the case could be issued by the high court before it adjourns in late June or early July.
In granting review of the case, the Supreme Court returned to a controversial portion of the campaign reform law to consider whether the pre-election advertisements of advocacy groups can be regulated. The high court upheld the entire law -- known as McCain-Feingold after its main sponsors, Sens. John McCain, R.-Ariz., and Russell Feingold, D.-Wis. -– in a 2003 ruling, but the Wisconsin pro-life organization sued the Federal Election Commission in the hope the courts would find the advertising ban unconstitutional in cases of issue ads that are designed to influence legislation, not elections. A federal court, however, ruled against the pro-life organization.
During oral arguments before the high court, Wisconsin Right to Life received some encouraging signs. Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Antonin Scalia both appeared to be skeptical of the advertising ban.
Roberts asked U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, who was defending the law, about a scenario in which an organization runs an ad on an issue every month. Roberts then asked if the ad would become illegal in the months preceding an election, the Associated Press reported. Clement said the organization could use the ad if political action committee funds paid for it or if the ad did not identify a candidate, AP reported.
That would undermine the ad’s purpose, Scalia told Clement. “The point of an issue ad is to put pressure on an incumbent you want to vote your way,” Scalia said, according to AP.
The Wisconsin Right to Life ad involved Feingold and his 2004 re-election bid, which was successful. The ad encouraged calls to Feingold and Wisconsin’s other senator, Democrat Herb Kohl, asking them to oppose filibusters of President Bush’s judicial nominees.
The inclusion of Kohl’s name in the advertisement seemed to support Wisconsin Right to Life's contention it was seeking to influence policy, not an election, Roberts said, according to AP.
Some justices, however, expressed skepticism of the pro-life organization’s position.
Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wondered why the organization did not wait until after the election to run the ad, AP reported. According to AP, Associate Justice Stephen Breyer told James Bopp, Wisconsin Right to Life's lawyer, that he had “a very good argument. But it’s an argument we just heard in that [2003] case.... Or are you asking us to go back and undo what we did?”
Bopp told the justices, according to LifeNews.com, “There is an immediate need to influence how government is regulating and taxing us. There’s more to government than elections.”
The campaign reform law bars labor unions and corporations from including a candidate’s name in ads 30 days before a primary election and 60 days before a general election. The provision also has been applied to non-profit advocacy organizations, such as Wisconsin Right to Life.
When the Supreme Court upheld McCain-Feingold, Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, called it “a disaster for Americans’ First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech.”
The vote in the 2003 opinion was 5-4, with Associate Justices John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O’Connor, David Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer in the majority. O’Connor has announced her retirement, and federal appeals court judge Samuel Alito is expected to be confirmed soon by the Senate to replace her. If he is, it sets up the possibility of a 4-4 tie in the case, since O’Connor would not take part in the decision. New oral arguments might then be held in the case.
