Why it worked
The humor of the situation, combined with the relatable struggle of small businesses with limited marketing budgets, likely resonated with viewers. The visual of a man in a box as a marketing tactic is inherently attention-grabbing and shareable.
Summary
A man stands in a cardboard box in front of a soda shop, flailing his arms dramatically. The on-screen text humorously suggests this is a result of the marketing budget being cut.

Product placement
Soda Jerk Prattville: ACTS - This is a dirty soda shop, and the video is set in front of it, implying it is the business being advertised. Removing it would change the context of the video. Soda Jerk Prattville: APPEARS - The name is visible on the shop window. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
