that won't cost you a Dime...Oh, and it works too!

We all know that businesses must advertise to attract customers and make sales. It's a basic trade principle has been in existence for centuries. The problem with a great many advertising opportunities though is that they require money up front from the advertiser. When there's no guarantee the advertising media chosen will produce the desired results, it really is more a leap of faith than anything else!

Of course, there are alternative 'free advertising' avenues can be pursued. But again, these may not produce results, either because they are ineffective (hence they are free) or because they are saturated by ads from the other one million and one businesses using the service. So, what is the solution?

The Shared Advertising Concept

The solution, as it turns out, is really quite simple! Find companies with whom you can 'exchange' advertising.

A prime example of this shared advertising concept in action can be found on the Internet. Companies have a shared economic interest - i.e. their products or services, although different, appeal to the same target audience - arrange to place advertising on each others web sites. By doing so, both companies benefit from free advertising to a highly targeted audience.

Finding companies who are interested in pursuing this idea is pretty easy too. Joint venture search companies specialize in bringing together businesses that want to work together like this.

To kick-start the process all you need do is register your interest with a joint venture facilitator, such as www.jvbase.com and let them match your company up with other parties who are interested in exchanging advertising space for free. It's a solution that works and is guaranteed to boost sales inquiries too!

Avoid these advertising mistakes at all costs!

by Jeremy L. Knauff

People have taken a number of approaches trying to do their own advertising ranging from silly all the way to insulting. These people choose there approach for various reasons. Some were ignorant about advertising and marketing while others were acting on incorrect information - usually in the form of cliches such as "s.ex sells." If you're in doubt, I can assure you unless your business is in Nevada, s.ex does not sell. If you're going to handle your own advertising, here are a few things to avoid:

Pictures have nothing to do with your product or service - If your company is in the carpet cleaning business there is no reason to have a picture of a baby. No one is going to say "What a cute baby, I think I want this company to clean my carpets." The same goes for pictures of s.exy people (male or female) in provocative poses and little clothing.

Cheesy headlines - I actually saw an ad with a headline said "We might be able to afford a bigger ad if you'd buy something from us." Yes, this will probably get someone's attention, but do you want to be remembered as the company that is having financial problems?

Illegible fonts - Most people will not take the time to decipher your ad when it is written in brush script, in which case, even the most persuasive copy is rendered useless. You want to use simple, clean fonts for headlines and body copy. Save the artistic fonts for accents and things of that nature.
