While many methods have been tried

the one method that always works,  is to find a link between a well known Carnival item and the business, and advertise!

Everyone has done bottles, dolls, and many other items, and they have worked a great deal.

In fact, beads have been done to death!

There is one Mardi Gras item, however, that has continued to attract the attention of business and revelers for over 86 years.   Its even been given the nickname, "Carnival's Most Sought After Throw!" It's a proven fact .... that People will do just about anything or brave any ordeal or humiliation to possess one of these Carnival Icons....

If you're still wondering what we are talking about, then you have never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, or you are not from New Orleans. Louisiana. This Icon is known the world over as the New Orleans Mardi Gras Coconut, or locally as

Zulu Coconuts

 This Icon hasn't been suitable for anything, but the Carnival throw it was, after all the art was childlike, it was a piece of fruit that would spoil, and it didn't close to the professional souvenir status needed for a real commercial approach......

Until Now ....  >>>
