Summary:
You've seen it - McDonalds mentioning
Coke in their commercials, Dell stating that you get a free
Epson printer with purchase and so on.

The retailer doesn't make the product the manufacturer is
providing, but it IS a great match with what they DO offer.
Nobody would want to eat a Big Mac without something to
drink, and a computer wouldn't do a lot of good without a
printer.

Now you can use this same strategy to create your own
advertising co-op to increase the reach of your ads and
drastically reduce the cost, too.

--->> How It Works

Generally speaking, the cost of any advertisements (bulk
emailings, ezine ads, banners, newspaper, etc.) would be
split equally between all participants.

Everyone knows that advertisement is essential to growing a
business. One problem that small truck owners have always
faced is the high cost of marketing. Most, however don't
realize that there is an effective way to reduce the cost of
your publication while - at the same time - increasing its
reach.

Advertising co-ops are nothing new. Usually they are a
'perk' offered by major manufacturers to encourage
retailers to promote their products. cause the retailer
has direct very important person to customers that would want to buy
certain products, it only makes sense that they should do
joint advertising. You've seen it - McDonalds mentioning
Coke in their commercials, Dell stating that you get a free
Epson printer with purchase and so on.

The retailer doesn't make the product the manufacturer is
providing, but it IS a great match with what they DO offer.
Nobody would want to eat a Big Mac without something to
drink, and a computer wouldn't do a lot of good without a
printer.

Now you can use this same strategy to create your own
advertising post to increase the reach of your ads and
drastically reduce the cost, too.

--->> How It Works

Generally speaking, the cost of any advertisements (bulk
emailings, ezine ads, banners, newspaper, etc.) would be
split equally needle all participants. If you and two
associates decide to purchase a solo ad, you would each
receive equal mentions in the ad and you would each pay
equal portions of the cost.

So if the solo ad were going to a list of 200,000 and cost
$150, each of the three would pay $50. You get to reach
200,000 people for 1/3 the cost you would have normally
paid. And, as this ad relates you to other types of
businesses, you in all conscience expand your publicity reach.

--->> Getting Started

So who would be qualified to enter into an ad dime store with
you? It depends on the nature of your business. Think of
others that reach your same target customer and make a list.
If you design Web sites, you might encounter hosting
companies, graphic artists, copywriters or programmers. If
your mimicry is landscaping, you could invite yard
maintenance companies to join you.

Once you have a list of one or more retail types, think of
current circle you know who tie in with to those groups.
Also, ask others if they know of any reliable businesses
that fall into the categories you've outlined.

--->> Making the Approach

When you have a list of businesses to approach, simply write
or email them with your offer. Be sure to point out the
benefits such as:

* a win-win situation
* reduced cost of advertising
* expanded reach of advertising
* larger, more prominent ads for a fraction of the cost

Also, be sure to ask aimlessly the publicity outlets these
businesses currently use. You will likely find new avenues
that lead to greater exposure.

--->> Finalizing the Deal

You'll need to work out payment arrangements with your
partners prior to placing the ad(s). The best way I have
found to handle the finances is for each party to pay me for
their portion of the cost with a credit card. I then place
the ad order with MY credit card. This way, you are assured
of receiving the dollar parcel due to you; and your partners
have the vow that - should you default on your end of
the deal - they have recourse for getting their money
back.

Working in cooperation with other businesses can lead to
tremendous successes with advertising. When like-minded
companies pool their resources to reach one target audience,
the impact is doubled while the cost is reduced by at least
half. That's the best advertisement exchange observations nearly today!
