SEO or AdWords or Offline - looking for advice

This is a great topic and question for the advertising world. What are the pros and cons to different modes of advertising?

SEO or AdWords or Offline - looking for advice: SEO or AdWords or Offline - looking for advice

I manage a website called SellYourCell. com. We buy used cell phones. We just took the site over and their has been NO advertising for years of any kind. Only 10% of people sell their old cell phones when they buy a new one so the challenge is to reach the 90% that don't and make them aware. Our competitors appear to be focusing on advertising for the 10% that do. Any ideas on how you would build awareness with the 90% of people who don't sell their cell phones when they get a new one? Thanks to you master marketers!

How much does it cost to make a billboard? And how much does it cost to advertise for 6 months or so? - Yahoo! Answers

Billboard ads can go anywhere from a few hundred a month up to thousands per month. Also there is an initial design and print fee for the panels.

The entry fee is steep but the actual CPM is just about the lowest in advertising.

How much does it cost to make a billboard? And how much does it cost to advertise for 6 months or so? - Yahoo! Answers: The smaller boards ran around $600 a month for rental. The large ones ran around $1,500 to $2,000 a month. You might also look into doing a six-month poster showing. This means you might have several posters that rotate to various locations over the six-month period. Often, outdoor companies run special rates on poster showings, so be sure to ask.

It's interesting to note that as Louisiana gets more conservative it is also getting more restrictive on our rights.

For instance, the city of Kenner restricts freedom of speech, one of the main reasons for our country's fight for independence, by making it illegal to waive signs in public.

These hypocrites like to sling around slogans such as 'patriotism' and cherish songs like 'where at least I know I'm free' and yet when reality requires they actually practice those tenets they fail miserably.

The worst part is we allow them to do this to us.

We need to stop singing silly songs and live out the purpose of this country!

(c)

It shall be unlawful for any person to loiter, wave any signs or wear billboards on any public streets, servitude, or right-of-way, including any part of the street between the curb and lateral line of the roadway and the adjacent property line and medians.

The city is now sending a $10 removal invoice to any person or business listed on the illegal sign. If found guilty, additional fines of $25 to $50 could follow.

"The law has been very clear for a long time that these bandit signs that create lots of visual clutter, particularly in neighborhoods that have shown a lot of disinvestment in the past. They detract from the quality of life,” she said.

Free Hemlin Metairie Products if the Saints Win Super Bowl?


Hemline Metairie is wagering an interesting bet on the New Orleans Saints chance at winning this football season's Super Bowl.

The wager is that if the Saints win the 2012 Super Bowl championship game Hemline Metairie will refund you the price of items you purchased during their special promotion. More info about it at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=260054877359730

It's a creative and interesting way to arbitrage their products. If done right then everyone wins. The odds of the Saints winning the Super Bowl are about 12-1. That is, if you bet that the Saints will win the Super Bowl somebody should be willing to take the bet and pay you $12 for every $1 you bet. This means that Hemline could (I don't know if this is actually what they're doing or not -I'm just speculating) take a percentage of what they make on the promotion and place a bet on the Saints to win. Then, if the Saints do indeed win they can use the money they collect to cover what they'll be giving out in refunds to the customers who bought items during the promotion.

If the Saints lose then customers will not collect a refund but they will still have whatever products they bought.

It's a pretty cool idea if approached as fun way to buy products you want while keeping an eye on what's happening with the Saints.
