How does your company advertise?

My favorite thing about the above poster with the medic (our most recent one) is he is dual wielding BLS tech bags which we don't even carry on the ALS rigs...

maybe he is about to throw them at a couple of BLS crews and tell them not to call ALS for such a BS call again?
 
We are a not for profit that is the only 911 for our 5 town area. We do some IFTs but now many. We have no need for advertising.

Not for profit does not mean the company doesn't turn a profit. The gains are just distributed differently instead of blatantly given to someone's bank account. The money is basically put back into the company (I.E they buy more ambulances or a hospital builds a new wing)

We put it back to the company into ambulances just as you said but we don't need to advertise.
 
We are not a Company so we do not advertise,

We do a lot of COmmunity involvement and such though to get our name out there
 
Our ambulances are very simple looking, but the company logo is applied to everything. Obviously on all four sides of the truck (including a light up logo in some lightbars), and then inside it's everywhere. On the doors, above the doors, on the cot, the bags, the AED, the toughbook, I could go on.
 
We used to park outside of a hospital in an effort to get the ED staff to start calling us for discharges (fail).
We noticed.

Most companies in Boston do that, because a lot of that equipment is expensive and easily stolen. We got a new shipment of 9' straps in, and a couple of people on light duty were put to work writing the company name on them, in full, with specific instructions to make it hard to alter.

And if you aren't from Boston and don't think crews can get exceptionally petty about these things:

If you are from Boston, can you tell which ED this is? (hint: Fallon probably feels possessive about it)
 
I've yet to ever see an add in the newspaper, on TV, or a billboard. Mostly we give out free stuff to the hospitals with the company name on it. Our company doesn't really need to be advertised lol

Right, I meant PR within the medical community, like the pens, calendars, little note clip things you see in all the con homes. I'm pretty sure there's not many within EMS that haven't(for better or worse) heard of us.
 
FDNY hands out fliers/magnets/pens at high schools and booths at pen station/subways from time to time.

it's handled by the recruitment division, now renamed the "recruitment and diversity" division since the lawsuit...

Agree with you 100%.

I do like some of the pens we give out and may have kept a lot

As much as I liked posting at South Shore because of its proximity to a Marylou's, it was sooooo boring waiting for a Linden Ponds discharge that I had brought in earlier.

One of the bossmen has a silk screening machine, so we have that pretty company logo on everything, not just sharpie. The cots come from Ferno already logoed up.

Hey I recognize that truck!

Let's be real, exceptionally petty is often the name of the game where I am (for how much longer I do not know, I may have worked my last shift there). I've had partners that have done similar things, or will call management to tell them that they don't have enough swag up at a certain facility.

Is that the Brigham? I don't go there all that often (or MGH, which I suppose it could be also), it seems like we're always transporting to the BI or BMC.
