  • 25 Guerilla Marketing Tactics You Should Be Using
    25 Guerilla Marketing Tactics You Should Be Using 1. The Calendar -There are no end of ideas in the calendar for things you can do to find customers and make an impact. Why not recruit some aspiring actors from the local college to put on a little flash mob skit promoting your product or business on National Talk like a Pirate Day. 2. Sticky Notes – Another way to use your stamper or even your printer. Sticky notes are noticeable anywhere because people know what they’re for: notes. Put these on local business doors, offices, cars, or above mail boxes in apartment complexes and people will take notice. 3. So many stamps – Looking for a way to get noticed in the huge pile of advertising mail potential clients get? Send your promo material in a big manilla envelope and put 39 – 1 cent stamps on it. Out of 100 envelopes, who’s do you think will catch the eye first? 4. Do Not Disturb – Heading to a blog expo anytime soon? Get some door hangers printed up with your business information on it and possibly a link to something free on your site. Get the attention of everyone in your market this way, and it’s super cheap as well. No one else I know has been doing this so you’ll stand out for sure. 5. Pay it forward – when you’re heading into the movie theater, pay the person’s way behind you and tell the cashier to give them your business card. You’re not guaranteed that the person will become a client but I bet the word of mouth on that one would be pretty big.

    ADVERTISING INTRUSION: ASSAULT ON THE SENSES, TRESPASS ON THE MIND-A REMEDY THROUGH SEPARATION PH. JOHN KOZYRIS* I. THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PROBLEM A. The Utility of Advertising Since time immemorial, man has communicated with his fellow man concerning what was available for sale or exchange, and presum- ably man has yielded to the temptation to accentuate the positive qualities of his own wares. There is no use, and no sense, denying that commercial communications play a role in keeping buyers informed on what is on the market and in stimulating interest in the material wealth which our mass production economy churns out with regular- ity., While advertising is here to stay, and has a proper place in our economic system, the potential excesses2 in advertising conflict with the public interest in several areas.
