Got Hemorrhoids? We can help.
No, thatâs not a cheap ploy from a journalist to lure you in to reading his latest blog ââ itâs an actual banner than hangs outside a doctorâs office in Woodbridge.
Associates in Gastroenterology hung the banner on their Smoketown Road office just across from busy Potomac Mills mall.
I certainly did a double take when I drove by the building, which was the old newspaper office where I once worked.
âThatâs exactly the kind of reaction we wanted when we hung the banner up,â explained Associates in Gastroenterology spokeswoman Sheri Styles. âA lot of people have commented on the banner, those comments ranging from âwe love the bannerâ to âare you serious?ââ
This is the third banner to grace the façade of the doctorâs office.
Previous banners have been about making people aware of the dangers of colon cancer and prevalence of Celiac disease, which damages the small intestine.
Hemorrhoids, too, are no laughing matter, said Styles. The banner just draws attention to a problem many people suffer from, albeit in an unusual way.
Its marketing materials like these that take gumption to use, helping this doctors office stand out from others in the area that undoubtedly offer the same services.
Now itâs up to the bright minds at the Gastroenterology office to top the current banner.
A few creative ideas spring to mind for future banners but I wonât be the one to go there.
