As well, on eBay, the human body has been listed with a "for sale" sign on it more than once. Now a company called Handvertising USA is connecting advertisers with customers willing to display ads on their hands in the form of stamps. Handvertising seems to be a clever enough idea with a large enough marketplace that maybe the next time you go to wash your hands in the mourning after a night out, you will never forgive Trend Hunter for being the stamp that let you get all those discounted team pitchers along with that massive headache. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Handvertising:** An emerging trend in advertising where advertisers connect with individuals willing to display ads on their hands in the form of stamps. - **Bodyvertising:** The practice of placing advertisements directly on the human body, creating a unique and attention-grabbing form of marketing. - **Ad Display Innovation:** The development of new and creative ways to display advertisements on unconventional surfaces, such as hands or other body parts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** The advertising industry can explore the potential of handvertising and bodyvertising as unique and disruptive forms of marketing. - **Event Management:** Event management companies can offer handvertising services as an additional revenue stream and unique branding opportunity for sponsored events. - **Printing and Stamp Manufacturing:** Companies in the printing and stamp manufacturing industry can cater to the growing demand for customized and branded handvertising stamps. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Concept Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you.md) - [Sniffable Deodorant Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deodorant-billboard.md) - [Branded Custom Device Skins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-device-skins.md) - [Scannable Tattoo Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whopper-tattoo.md) - [Athletic Apparel Interactive Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoplift-campaign.md) - [Condiment Tattoo Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-tattoo-bottle.md) - [Unique Real Facial Hair Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollar-shave-club1.md) - [Cheeky Adult Wipe Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodwipes-launched.md) - [Interactive Scented Billboard Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lola-mullenlowe.md)
