i need some good ideas for my avon company?
I need to do some advertisement for my recently created website!!
I will try some of these ideas to promote my business of selling cards (quality-cards.co.uk)!
I have tried many advertising programs for my restaurant. Some were great and some were not. I have to brag about one that I really love. www.cheaplocaldeals.com lets us (and other restaurants, spas etc) advertise on their website totally free. The deal is we agreed to let them sell a coupon that we deeply discounted. In our case we let them sell a $25 coupon for $9. The $9 went to them but they set it up so the user agreed to spend at least $35 to redeem it. It turned out the guest usually ended up spending $40 or $50 anyway. The discount I honored was well worth it and I get about 200 customers a month from it. My ad is free but they make their money when they sell a coupon which is fine by me and safer than the $3,000 I spend in the newspaper and only got a few responses. Anyway, had to share it.

I actually have used them and had success when I did. the Key is Being Consistent. talk to 10 people a day, or hand out 10 Flyers, calls or anything productive. Here's my DEAL.
