Default Newspaper Inserts GREAT IDEA !

Glenn,

I want to thank you for this nifty newspaper insert idea! Sure it's gutsy, but I've never known you to be afraid to try something different.

In my area we don't have newspaper boxes. All the local papers are sold from a rack that holds the papers and customers just pick up the papers and pay the cashier when they check out.... or they pay the cashier and THEN pick up a paper.

I was thinking.... what if you paid for a bunch of papers.... then stuffed your insert (right there at the store maybe) and then just placed them back. I would imagine if the store got to sell the papers again, they would not mind... however, the manager could just as easily pull the inserts out.

My thinking has always been to do things in plain sight if possible.

What is interesting in this, is the possibility that you could find a business paper or even a local magazine that this could work.

I realize there are companies that charge for inserts, but this idea rocks.

Default Another Idea With Inserts

I got to thinking after I posted about the inserts and realized that the one-page giveaway I had talked about in other posts could work here given that it is placed in the correct newspaper or magazine.

A number of times I have seen business cards placed in magazines (with no call to action or benefit) but a half-page flyer or card stock message just might work with this idea.

Default Taylor Swifts Cat *Olivia Benson* Has 95 Million Net Worth

Thanks Dien,

I Thought this Funny.

AND

Highly Profitable.

Since I Helped a Car Detailer Advertise in The VOICE of his Dog, Fluff.

The Terrier Size Dog - Dressed up in a Pair of Over-Alls - SUPERVISES
from The hood (A Pet Bed) Of Al's Truck While HE DOES The Detailing.

His Business has ZOOMED HIGHER.

Cuz Pet Owners HIRE his DOG Instead of A competitor.

DOWN-SIDE - his Dog Fluff - is Getting FAT. Customers pamper and Feed FIDO while Al Works on Their Vehicles.

So.

Taylor Swifts Favorite TV Show is "Law And Order."

Her FAVE Character - is Detective Olivia Benson.

Now it Turns out IN THE Event of Taylors DEMISE - Her Cat - "Olivia Benson"
Has 95 Million Bucks Ready to Take Care Of the Critter.

Maybe I will Be Re-incarnated as a RICH FAT CAT.

Thanks,
Glenn
