Hi There,
Let me introduce or re-introduce you to the cheapest form of
Advertising, Marketing and Promoting your Website or Affiliate Program
and it has nothing to do with Adwords, Clickbooth, Miva or any other
Pay Per Click Site; it's all about getting back to grass roots
marketing which is the cheapest form of advertising today and the
results when done properly, will amaze you.
B.C., Before Computers and the internet, many sales people were very
successful in their advertising campaigns using tried and true old
fashioned methods which, surprise, surprise, still work well today and
it will not cost you an arm and a leg for you to be successful also.
Print your advertisements and web address on leaflets, business cards,
rubber stamps, car door magnets or decals, postcards,tee-shirts, road
side signs and pens and circulate within your own area.
How can l do this you ask ? Well, do a search for Vista Print who can
print and arrange all of the above for you, some items are free and
your total order will be delivered to your front door.
When you receive your order, this is where the fun and the exercise
begins.
1. Leaflets, Business Cards and Postcards These can be placed under
windscreen wipers on cars parked at railway stations, shopping
centres, sporting events, beach car parks and all other places where
large numbers of cars are parked.
Make sure you place the advertising material under the driver's side
windscreen wiper as he or she will have to remove it prior to driving
off.
Take the dog for a walk and do a leaflet drop in all the letterboxes
in your own area or drive to a nearby suburb or town and do your
leaflet drop there.
Place the advertising material on noticeboards at work, in the
toilets, at beauty salons, in bookstores and libraries, churches,
parks, at parties, health clubs, dance classes, seminars, political
meetings, spas, book clubs, shopping centre malls, playgrounds, self
help group meetings, mothers' club meetings, child minding centres,
laundramats, kindergartens, schools, college and university notice
boards, coffee shops, theatres, swimming pools, bowling clubs, bus
stops, airports, railway stations, bus stops, bars and night clubs.
They can also be placed on tables in doctor's waiting rooms, dentist's
waiting rooms, hospital waiting rooms.
2. Rubber Stamps Stamps showing your web address can be used on
reverse side of envelopes when sending out letters for business or
personal use.
3. Car Door Magnets or Decals Car door magnets or decals can be placed
on your car and also your partner's car and when travelling around
your car becomes a mobile billboard.
4.Teeshirts Have your web address printed on front and back, give them
away to family and friends and encourage them to wear them when
shopping, going to sports events, to the beach and anywhere else where
you expect a gathering of a large number of people.
5.Road Side Signs Road side signs can be placed on the side of roads
and highways and pay particular attention at intersections where cars
and drivers can be stopped for a period of time to observe your sign.
Make sure you place your signs out in the open, away from billboards
and trees.
6.Pens Pens emblazoned with your web address can be given away as
gifts or promotional material to family and friends. Ask a shop owner
if you can place a sign in his shop window and give him or her a pen
as a sign of appreciation. Ask a service station owner or manager if
you can place a sign in his office window and then give all staff a
pen each.
The above are different ways to promote your web address, make money,
get outside and get fit and healthy.
