Why Free Still Works

Many people have the misconception that only high-paid advertising will have any effect on expanding their business. In reality there are many different methods a business can utilize in order to cut the cost of advertising and offset the cost of commercial printing. Things such as distributing business cards throughout the community, placing flyers in visible spots, writing articles for publications in exchange for ad space and placing filler ads in newspapers and magazines are a few of the ways a company can save on the cost of advertising.

You don’t want to use free advertising exclusively but as a supplement to any other advertising you may be doing. This is especially true of online advertising that places a higher ranking on paid advertisements—free advertising is places lower and may remain unseen. Look to free advertising as a way to offset commercial printing of your business tools rather than using it as a way to replace paid advertising. You want to supplement any advertising you are currently doing, especially in cases where your budget for advertising may be approaching its limitations. Develop some ideas of your own and use your company’s slogan and display ads to ad additional flair to mailings, emails, and faxes you send.
