BOOKMARKS

I’m always trying to figure out a good way to advertise my website without spending too much money. Thus, recently, I decided to create some small flyers and ask several store-keepers if they would pass them out to their customers. In return, I would put a banner ad of their business at the top of one of my website pages.

I told a friend of mine, a graphic artist, about the idea and she offered to design it for me. I was pleased, of course, and invited to take her out to lunch in return. Several days later, she sent me her design and I was absolutely thrilled. She had cleverly created terrific looking bookmarks. What a great idea I thought and how very clever. The receiver could put my advertisement to good use and in addition be continually reminded of my website.

I called Kinkos, and was pleasantly surprised to learn it would cost me about $130 for 4,000 bookmarks – not bad, only four cents apiece. Now all I have to do is wait to see how successful this new strategy will be.
