Suppose you are a criminal defense lawyer who handles DUI’s. Would you like to have local bars pass out a flyer to all of their customers, advertising your services?
Try this:
Contact the owner of the bar and ask him how many cocktail napkins he uses each month. When he answers, tell him you will supply him with the same napkins free of charge. All he has to do is allow you to print your name and contact information on the napkins.
They get free napkins, you get advertising to a very targeted market, at very low cost.
Let’s say you handle personal injury cases. What if you approach auto insurance brokers who mail calendars to their clients and prospects, and make a similar offer. You’ll pay some or all of the printing and mailing costs, in return for adding your name and contact information.
Do you do estate planning or family law? Contact real estate brokers who mail calendars and note pads.
You get the idea.
Find other businesses or professionals who target the same market you do, and show them how they can lower or eliminate some or all of their advertising costs.
What’s that? You don’t advertise? Even the word makes you nervous?
No problem. Call it a joint venture. Offer to pass out their calendar or note pads or other items, in return for passing out your report, checklist, or planning guide.
