Recently, a spa in Arlington, Virginia offered free a Botox treatment to the first 50 people who could prove that they were recently unemployed (laid off). A lot of people lined up to take advantage of this offer. Many of those polled said that they were doing this to look better for job interviews. The spa also invited recruiters to meet with the prospective job seekers getting Botox treatments. With each Botox treatment costing around $300 to $500, I wonder what the Salon was hoping to gain from this promotion. Could it be publicity? The name of the spa is Reveal MedSpa.

In this bad economy, many companies are doing good deeds such as giving away cell phones or other goodies and in return getting some much needed publicity.
