Hand stamp advertising - stamping the hands of club-goers with an ad logo or promotion as they enter a night spot - has been around for some time in India, Australia and the U.K. Now, it is also available in the U.S.
Clubs and bars are the most common venue for hand stamps, writes Media Life. They can also be used at fairs, festivals and other events for branding and promotions.
