Marketing Materials

As we all know Marketing Materials can become expensive and I am in need of business cards for both blogs. As I was researching were to purchase Marketing Material I thought I would share  tips with you on what I used in the past.

If your in need of business cards Google free business cards. Or you can check out Vista Print as they usually have a deal were you can order a certain number of business cards for free. The free business cards can be used in Swag Bags. Purchase more expensive business cards for other business purposes.

When your checking out Vista Print also type in free items because I’ve gotten pens, notebooks and T Shirts. If you sign up for Vista Prints affiliate program you can earn money through the sales your link brings in. Which is a easy way to earn cash you can purchase business supplies with.

If your needing signs for your car, or for the events you do. Search for someone that makes Vinyl signs and ask them for a link to the products they create. These companies can be cheaper than big big box office stores that specialize in these services.

If you find a company you like don’t be afraid to barter for the supplies you need. If your bot sure what bartering is it’s where you exchange a service you offer for a service they offer. Or you might even help them in there store if they have a physical building.

Look online for a Distributor from Stampin Up Distributor like Yolanda Sanchez. They work with Paper Crafts and might be able to help you create business cards and Stationary for your company. As well as signs for your tables at Events you attend.

If your needing Banners and  Fliers for your business or a Logo then you should check out Fiverr. You will search through ads letting you know what everyone does and the prices they charge. I have purchased Fliers, Business Cards and content for my websites.

Or you can research on Facebook or Nextdoor for a Graphic Designer who is in school . They may be looking for a way to get there business seen and by working together you can help them with this. Just have there info on the items they create and there being seen just as you are.

Next you will need pictures for your business cards and websites. But you may not have a lot of money to spend. Search for a Photography Student they may take the pictures you in exchange for adding them to there portfolio. Then you will be seen through there work as well.

Or find a budding photographer who just wants practice and I have several friends who would take photos of me and my family for experience. As there taking the photos ask questions as you can learn from them and take your own photos next time with the help of your family.

Always think outside the box like using a Origami Owl Distributor and have them create a custom locket for you, Featuring items you use in your business. In exchange for the locket you hand out there information when asked where you got your locket from.

Don’t forget to check out local events and if they ‘re having T Shirts made ask what they would charge you to have your business put on a T Shirt. I have A T Shirt with my company name on the shirt that I wear all the time. While I am running errands people stop and ask me what Branding Beyond Blogging is.

Allowing me to explain my business and giving me the change to get to know them. Because you never know where meeting someone might take you or who they might know. Of that they might need your services. Don’t be afraid to shout from the rooftops what you do and why.
