Magnetic Memo Board Ad business
 
Hi all,

I' am interested in starting a business selling advertising space on Magnetic memo boards which are then distributed to neighborhoods homes. I used to follow this forum a long time ago and I remember this subject somewhere.

I wanted to know if someone knows of a supplier of these or can offer a few pointers to get going on this business.

Thank you

Hi my friend,

I did a magnetic memo board project in my area a few years ago. Then I wrote a report on how I did it. If you want a copy of that report send me an email and I will give you one.

In the mean time you can get an idea of what it is all about at this page but do not buy from there. Send me an email first.

Best of success,

This was one of the projects in my "Midas Reports"...."50 Ways To Make $50,000 Starting with $50!"...I put together, some years ago.

Check the "archives" of THIS Forum...back in 2002!...where I described how it works and how I got the IDEA ...when the first "Magnetic Sheets" started being sold in Office Supply stores.

The Top had "Important Numbers"....the next section had "Secret Info"...the bottom section had 4 Columns with 5 Rows...so I could fit 20 advertisers in a rectangular space with their Logos and Contact Info.

I created these on my pc and printed them out....one-by-one on my inkjet (these Magnetic Sheets CANNOT be printed on any presses that have HEAT...like "Laser Printers") I then Mailed them to Home Buyers each month.

This was a GOOD Money-Maker for me (I was mailing 100 a month to new home buyers. Got $150 per Month from each advertiser)

HOWEVER....I took the SAME, 8 1/2 by 11 Magnetic Sheet and placed a Photo of a Car Buyer on it...along with the Car Dealers Logo and Contact Info...and a Special Type of Calendar...and mailed these to New Car Buyers.

The New Car Buyers (because of their EGO) would place these ON THEIR FRIDGES...where everyone entering the kitchen would see....bringing "Referral Business" to the Car Dealers.

The Car Dealers would take the photos of their New Car Buyers, at Time of Delivery of the vehicles. Someone at the dealership would take the photos and email them to me....and I would place the photos on the Mag Sheet.

I started off charging $19.95 ea....then added something else to bring the Value UP to where I could charge $29 each.

My average Car Dealer account, in those days was selling 80 vehicles a month. $2,000 a Month from each Dealer was a NICE chunk of change. However, the "Car Biz" slowed down to a snail's pace and I went on to other things HOWEVER....3 guys I taught this biz to....chose to bring their prices down to $14.95 per car and they are STILL doing biz with their Dealers, to this day.

If you'd like to see a Sample of these "Car Dealer Magnets"...OR my "Magnetic Memo Boards" for Home Owners....OR....a smaller unit I made for a guy who lost his job and was about to lose his house....who got $395 to be on 1,000 Magnetic Sheets, from 38 Sponsors ($15,010)...simply by going "Door-To-Door" in the retail section of town....I'd be glad to email to you if you'll send me your email to "[email protected]"

In fact...because of the UNemployment situation now...I'm going to put a bunch of my projects onto VIDEOS...showing people how they can earn money with Simple Projects.
