Low Cost Advertising

There is no better advertisement campaign than one that is low cost and also successful at the same time. Great business ideas when utilized effectively can save lots of money. This is not only easy for those who work full-time as an advertiser, but also for those who work from home.

Advertising from home is also a low cost option, which involves making and distributing fliers. Business cards can also be distributed. For those who work outside home, employ college students to distribute fliers at supermarkets, community centers, or malls, especially on weekends, when there is a rush.

Talk to everyone about the product and ask them to talk about it to others. Word of mouth is a very powerful way to increase your network and doesn�t cost anything. When receiving a casual call from family members and friends, don�t forget to tell them about the latest events, discounts and promotions and ask them about what they are up to. If the parties are into the business, it won�t hurt to promote each other. Joint ventures can be started with people of the same trade. The only cost that will be incurred during the whole process is printing fliers/business cards. For better quality, a professional can be hired to design them, as they will be able to play with colors and write motivating material.

Many local businesses have company bulletin boards that they use to put up company�s latest news. Fliers and business cards can be tacked on thes bulletin boards. But before doing so, get permission the human resource department before placing the information as most of the HR departments make it compulsory to consult them.

Voice mails can be put to good use, other than just recording messages. They can help to deliver the marketing message. Greet with a brief message, following with website and email address. The caller already has the telephone number and they will be able to learn more about the business by visiting the website. When the company is providing special promotional offers and discounts, include information about those in the voice mail. Repetitive voicemails sound boring, so keep changing the voice mail frequently and add some creativity to it.

Most of the big businesses attach business cards or fliers with out going mail. This works for companies who send bills to their customers. For those who have customers paying online, they can send the information through emails.

Advertisements can be done, locally, by placing fliers on the bulletin boards of the local grocery stores, businesses, barbers, or butchers. Be certain to get permission from the business owner first!
