Marketing

[joeespisito]

I would like to share an Idea I learned in a marketing class I took. I think we all agree IMTalk has benefited all of us in one way or another. Some more than others but as for me I love getting on here! One marketing trick I learned was to print out business cards with your IMTalk referrer link on it. On mine I say:
Learn about SEO, Learn how to manage your website,
Communicate with top minds in the industry FREE
then my referrer link,
I drop cards at best buy, walmart, also when I send a bill payment off I enclose several cards in the envelope. On each card is a hand written message that simply says When you have a break, see what we are about. People helping people.
Im curious to see how it plays out. I may end up with a ton of referrals or none but either way, I had fun doing it and exercised my mind to think outside of the box!

I think thats a great Idea! I know when my wife worked at the tax office during break they would check their facebook and do whatever so I could see that getting some buzz going around the office. Leaving a stack of cards at the doctors office, dentist office would probably work too. People have the smart phone sitting there and they can look it up.
That is actually a great Idea!

These days you should get a QR code and have it printed on the card. With the QR code most smart phone users don't even have to type in the domain name.

Idea of joeespisito coupled with wink0r is a killing one.
We should do this actually, I agree IMTALK has benifited us way beyond what we had expected

See two heads are better then one! That also shows you how long ago that marketing class was that I took. Lol. Its bad when you think well that was just back in ........ I mean, I was only 29 at the time and that was.....oh wow, that was a long time ago. Lol.

All of my formal education took place before the advent of the PC!!

Well When I was in like 13, 386 computers were the biggest thing Window 95 was yet to come. We had all our treasures like DOS games, xx Images and doc files were stored in one single 1/3 Disk.

Great idea and i think that by combining with the QR code, this would yield good results for you and your business. Please keep us updated with how this would play out for you.

Can someone direct in the right direction for creating a QR code? I have never done that before so any advice would be appreciated. I am going to print the cards myself. Does anyone for see a problem that might occur with me doing that? In other words, would it effect the quality of the QR when people scan it? I was going to use picture quality settings.
I am sending Namanja a PM to get an okay on doing this. I don't see a problem as long as I use some common sense in dispersing the cards.

Well i might help you in creating a QR Code, send me some details i will see how i can help you

Alright I sent Namanja a private message and received the okay for the qr code on the business cards. so its a go ahead and I am going to give it a blood test to see how this works out. My hopes is that it will bring in not only quality and fresh content for the forum but also a customer base for some of the signature links we have and A customer base for the IMT supercharge Bookmarks and such. In short I think it's going to potentially trickle to all of us that participate in the Forum.
