Flyers

We used to have a newsletter/flyer printed out every month for our store’s customer – but when our kid came a long, the spouse didn’t have much time to do it anymore. When the kid got older – we became pretty busy just managing the store alone – so we didn’t do it anymore. But [...]

We used to carry tv stand at our store and not just your cheapie type of tv stand – ours were pretty solid wood ones and our supplier is one of the leading supplier around Canada. Alas, it didn’t sell as well as we had hope – so now we don’t carry tv stand no [...]

Since we are a downtown business – we try to only support our downtown businesses too. If I needed a shoe – I would go to Runner’s Attic – now only if they didn’t have the thing we need then we would patronize some other stores – and even go online – like the addidas [...]

So we’ve been told or encouraged to buy a t-shirt for $10 or $15 to show that we worked downtown – it’s at Pier 1 – right behind us and not on Main Street – weird place to have an event if you asked me. And then the Business and Employment Center is hosting a [...]

Yes ! we are seriously contemplating about our summer hours – and we are not even into summer yet – but with the weather getting warmer and the last few nites seeing more customers walking in after 8pm – makes us want to change our hours and open longer at night. So here I am [...]

Another check that’s been a long time coming, Snap Dollars advertises that you can get paid to read emails. It’s true, but at 3 to 5 cents per email it can take a very long time to save up the $40 minimum payout amount. You get a $5 bonus just for signing up [...]

Posted on October 20, 2008 - Filed Under Amused, Marketing | Leave a Comment
Between a lot of houses in town being for sale and a whole bunch more proclaiming their support for this councilor or that mayoral candidate, there’s barely an empty lawn to be seen. Not forgetting those people who are lucky enough to run a home based business, which of course needs signage as well.
I [...]
Email Marketing

I hate spam email as much as the next guy, but there are a lot of good uses for Email marketing software such as sending out newsletters or specials to those customers who have signed up for such things. Using something like Outlook Express can work for small lists, but if you’re sending out [...]

Over the last month or so I’ve been trying to use Facebook to do a little marketing. It’s not too bad, and during the month I only spent a little over $5. Overall I’m not sure how much extra business it’s brought me, but I can credit it with the sale of 10 [...]

Posted on April 12, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Internet, Marketing | Leave a Comment
I’ve been wondering a bit lately if it’s worth the effort to get listed in web directories. After all, everywhere you look a new one is springing up, and a web directory could be as simple as one person publishing his list of bookmarks or as elaborate as a database of thousands of links [...]

Posted on March 30, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Marketing | 1 Comment
I had someone leave a comment on my Reverse Funnel System post saying that even a regular job is just a pyramid scheme because the people on bottom make less money. Sure, I can see his point in a very vague way. There’s the owner on top who generally makes the most money, [...]
