Default Grow Your Business...Free Advertising

Posters can be used for free advertising and can be made fairly easily using your edit tools. For one month at a time our local bank branch allows you (as a customer) to place posters like these in their branch. Back in May we did one that tied in Celiac Awareness Month with a photo promotion fund raiser we were doing...it yielded some new customers for us. We are now doing it again at the same bank with a new poster that will push photography gift certificates...timely, with the gift giving season coming up. Below are the two posters I wanted to share with you, and thought ideas like this will help you grow your business

If anyone needs a really cool, easy way to make a poster, try Adobe Rome. It's a free AIR app (or online) that's kind of like lightweight Quark. Good layout tools, and sweet interface.

Project ROME by Adobe

*Completely free to use right now, btw.

Unfortunately mine as well. When she comes home from work, you think I'd get a hello, how was your day? It's more like what did you do today to make money?
