The whole offline marketing is a very interesting subject. Do you think its possible to promote zip submits with say 25,000 Flyers.

25K flyers would cost me about $440 from this place
leaflet printing, leaflets, full colour leaflet printing (might be able to get them it cheaper for A6 or A7, especially as that price is for A5)

I can pay a polish guy down the road from me about $100 to hand out about 10,000 flyers outside a tube station here in London. You could probably rinse that many in about an hour.

I’d need to find an offer that is perfect for UK commuters. One that they wont be able to resist getting to work, logging into their email system and whacking in their email address.

Something like free make up sample for chicks would be awesome.

I would need to get a conversion rate of 2.16% to break even, anything more is profit. If I want to scale this idea up I can get more polish dudes and get them to wait outside more tube stations.

I will capture the emails of these chicks and send them other offers by email.

@mobrep: i’d rather you not do anything that is illegal, but affiliate networks usually never give out affiliates private information unless ordered to do so by courts. you’d be wise to never put yourself in a situation that warranted such actions, though.

Forgot to mention, they could still get your info from the affiliate network. But do you really thing they will go through that much trouble? I don’t.

In the majority of cities it is illegal. However, in larger cities you can ususally get away with it for while before they are removed. On thing to think about though. If you use this idea for AM, and only place the ad text with url, there will be no phone number or contact info. So, as long as you have your domain proxied, you should be golden.

Probably best to check your local littering laws then!

It IS illegal and there were 2 guys arrested for doing this in my town because they kept putting their signs up… people got pissed raised hell.. and after like the 4th time they got arrested for it. Vandalism, destruction of property, and littering.

@ steveplace – Not a bad idea right there. Although I believe its an ebook isn’t the gas to water product on clickbank converting at a insane conversion? Matter of fact, just looking at it I see a gravity of 487. Yea, must be a seller. Take and apply

Ok I was thinking this over throughout the day and other ways to game local ideas.

1)Go and get some stickers printed that say “$250 gas card, blah blah blah, go to this website”

2)Go around to gas stations at your town and stick them on the pumps, around where they have to put your credit card in.

3)Check results.

Is it legal to just post a sign like this on public property?
