option8 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 While taking stock marketing activities I was curious what is working for everyone in the area of FREE advertising. (I also wanted to see how the poll feature of Michael's board works.) I could only use 10 choices in the creation of the poll, so I've only posted the free ideas right now. Please take a second to tell us which of these free avenues is working the best for you. Also take a minute to contribute additional ideas for "FREE" marketing. If you are looking for good marketing ideas to add to your current mix, you may just find something here. This is a good time for a gut check! Do you even know which activity is producing the most results? (even though is these are free!) option8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

option8 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 You're right...there are only 5 choices. That's all I could come up with that are free. The additional marketing avenues I could think of cost money, so I put these up first. Do you have another freebe avenue in mind? option8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lydia 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2004 business cards aren't free (well, Vistaprint, but shipping is still a cost) I paid $35 for my car signs and they have by far gotten me the most calls. I have got a call or two from flyers. Lydiahttp://www.cashbuyorsell.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

option8 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2004 business cards aren't free Sorry, for including them here. We pay little to nothing for them.We designed them in MS Publisher (or you can find a template for MS Word on avery.com or at Microsoft's website), printed a master on bright white paper and took them to the copy center (not Kinko'w) with our card stock. A couple of dollars for the cutting and you have stacks and stacks of really inexpensive business cards... We go thru loads of them and no one has ever made a negative comment about our "copier cards" This only make a minute dent in the marketing budget. How about sending post cards to FSBO and FRBO.Although the postcards can be inexpensive, the mailing charges can be steep. However, I will add that the Earn Extra Cash Postcard that you hand out to birddogs is another inexpensive idea! Maybe all of this will encourage someone to think about marketing on the cheap! option8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
