John, better known as jhbmw007 on eBay, attracted national media attention, had accumulated over 400,000 visitors, 92 bids and nevertheless, the bobblehead made an appearance on the Jay Leno Show.

During the Trading Spouses Bobblehead auction, Brian, a marketing coordinator and web designer, also known as EZas123 on eBay (http://www.PIMPINisEZ.com) with a niche of targeting sellers looking to ‘spice up’ their auctions, sent John an email. “When your 15 minutes of fame are over, contact me.

The bobblehead was made of Sculpey clay, has real doll hair, a pair of glasses, lifelike clothing, and a customized base with a permanently built-in play button to hear sound clips of Howard’s famous sayings. Both agree this can be a 'Serious' publicity tool for Howard Stern and can possibly persuade new subscribers. As John was finishing up the bobblehead, Schwartz was preparing the visual effect filled and music enhanced auction listing to "potentially be viewed by hundreds of thousands, maybe millions."

Schwartz further explains, “Aside from all of the potty humor, we believe Howard’s playbook in catering to his tightly targeted market and maintaining a consistent brand throughout his career can be applied to Small Business Marketing & Entrepreneurs everywhere. As young entrepreneurs, we aim to benchmark Howard’s marketing success with our very own ventures.”

And the rest is history in the making.
