Many times after placing flyers up around a property we just left, by time we get back to office we will have messages regarding flyer we placed.

For those of you running businesses other than lease purchasing, you can also use flyers in your business. Flyers can be used to announce a Grand Opening or re-opening of a business, addition of a new product line, basically any number of things. They are a lot cheaper than running a ad, in addition to giving you a lot of space to say and/or show what your business does. You can have a couple thousand of flyers made up and place them on cars in parking lots, or use a mailing service to mail them to a particular neighborhood. You can have another publication place your flyer in with their mailing or you can have someone hand them out. You can mail them to current customers to announce an upcoming event or product. You can put a coupon on them and offer a discount, or dollars off amount.

So what are you waiting for. Do up a flyer and see how it can increase your profits.

4. Voice Mail Tip Line (This is my favorite!)

Start a free tip line. Offer a daily, weekly, or monthly tip on your services or products on your voice mail. If daily, create enough for five days a week for three months. Than start all over again. The tips work best if related to your business. Include your ad for your web site or business at beginning or end of your message.   I have also seen consultants add tips for their favorite clients because they believe that more successful their clients are, more they will be as well.

5. Content Swap

Exchange articles or other content with other websites and ezines.  You could trade articles, top ten lists, etc. Both parties could include a resource box at end of content.
