Marketing solutions with small business budgets in mind... one ad at a time.

Prudence is essentially defined as the quality of taking care to the level of having foresight, in the management of economic resources.
Specifically, "provident care in the management of resources." Provident essentially means foresight... and since you're planning how customers will be attracted to the ads, that makes sense to me. The only problem is the potential of clashing with Prudential customers or their rules/TM's.

Pick a name that you can use for a website and a local publication. Such as "Crows Nest". Then have a small line that reads "We look out for you from above". or "We've got you covered". Start out small. Show the small paper to businesses and tell them to place their tiny ads in it. You can put "stacks" of these papers "free" in local stores that will also sign up.

A consumer walks into a grocery and see's the copy of this weeks "Crows Nest". They read that you can get a good deal on a tv and "John's TV and repair" shop. Next to that ad, is another ad listing for them to "clip this coupon" and get an "ice cream cone for $.59 cents" on Thursdays at the local Dairy Freeze Ice Cream and sandwhich shop.

Make sure that right under the Crows Nest name (or one you pick) that you also list the domain www.crowsnest..... etc.

That way, computer savvy people can also log on.

Don't foget to put in a small "weekly contest". People will pick up that flier that you've created and fill in the puzzle, write a paragraph about..... or just fill in the coupon and deposit it at one of your local Crows Nest dropoff locations or mail it in by...... and then announce the winner the following week.

You can get 50 stores to sign up for $20 bucks a week. Show them your "flier" and what you are going to do to get people to read it and read their ads. Make if fun so they pick it up and you can make some income from home without much work.

Show them that for their $20 bucks, it is a small token for a weeks advertising and combined with others, they will get to customize their "block" on that page and it will be read by "hundreds" or thousands. Make up a flier, have it printed out and drop off a hundred or so at each location until your first printing of 1,000 or more is gone.

As time goes by, you'll be able to increase that small $20 into a little more but don't gouge them. That way it gives businesses more exposure to all your readers with very little cost.

Ad articles of local events to make it fun. "Next weeks addition will list the schedule and events of the local county fair". or.. 4th of July events.. or the counties parade., etc.

Don't be afraid to ask for "contributing writers" who want to write for free in your publication. There are lots of people with spare time who could contribute. If it gets huge, then you could send some of them certificates for dinner out or something to help them along.

I work for www.typistjobs.net which is a home typing program but also teaches you every which way how to market any online business from totally free to low cost and even step by step for pay per click advertising for super cheap.
