An innovative self-promotion

A technology company in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, has parked 10 Mercedes-Benz cars in front of its building with two huge placards that read "2013 year-end bonus" for elite employees. This has drawn the attention of passersby, many of whom have taken photos of the display and posted them on the Internet, giving free but effective publicity to the company, says an article on gmw.cn. Excerpts:

The Shenzhen company has made a smart move of giving cars to its well-performing employees as bonus, provided they stick with their jobs for another five years, after which they could be complete owners of the vehicles. The company, which has about 500 employees, started the practice last year to recruit and retain talents.
