Any ideas for advertising an on-line greeting business card company in the UK?
I am assuming your market is local? If so, you may want to make a small decorative flier (it will cost pennies) and hand them out at local events - street fairs, markets, etc. Since you already have a website, this could be super simple with your name, website address and what your business is.
Reply:not a bad start doing what you have just done.





I think you will find that there are few people who will provide effective free advertising. It is not exactly a good business model for them to give space away for nothing.





I just looked at your web site and if you don't mind some advice, you need to get over what is unique about your cards in a much more up front manner. I could not see why I should order them over the net as opposed to a card shop where I can see and feel the quality for myself in my hand. I am sure your cards are great but you need to sell that to people visiting the site and attract their attention as soon as they enter it - instantly. Can I also suggest actual photos of the cards themselves, the images you have look like they are taken from a catalogue and are more like drawings than the real thing.





Best of luck with it.
