Co-op Advertising ideas

By

I picked up a take-out pizza while watching a ball game yesterday and when I got my pizza, there was a Red Cross flyer on it.  The flyer was promoting the Red Cross's $100 million nationwide disaster relief fundraiser.  If you want to contribute, you can go to www.scotlandcountyarc.org or go to the Red Cross website in your town.  

Anyway, the flyer gave me an idea.  Why not help a non-profit organization or business with a promotion with information about them or with a coupon for their service along with a promotion about your service?  Then visit restaurants, retail stores, hotels, etc. in placing these flyers for the organization or business for them to hand out to their customers.   

As you are handing out your flyers, don't forget to network to the owners, managers and employees too!  

You can help non-profit organizations or businesses with their promotions by doing the printing and legwork to help their cause or their business.  I am sure that these managers or owners will appreciate your effort for a win/win for both of you.  And since business owners that will be handing your flyers to their customers will be getting some recognition for the effort, you will be helping them help their customers, so it is a win/win/win.  But but if you throw in the benefit to the customer,  it is really a win/win/win/win!   Everybody wins!  

Call a non-profit organization or business that you like and ask if you can help promote them with your creative ideas!   For your promotion on the flyer, you can just give a website link to your website with a note, "Check out my website for Hot New Listings!" or "Go here to sign-up for my 'Just Listed' emails so you will know as soon as new home properties are listed in town!".  

If you try this, put my website links on your promotions and I will help you by pre-approving your buyers for you!  

Good Luck with this co-op idea.

Sam I really like your creative ideas. This is "THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX". You should put this in the "Thinking outside of the box group. Will also like to know what Don Sabinske did to get his name on 800 pizza boxes. Great idea.
