Has any of you found either the magnet coupons or smart memo to be effective advertising media? how does the return compare to doorhanging or newspaper inserts? We’re thinking of trying out the smart memo but it seems like its too costly.
A number of stores I sell magnets to have used Smart Memo Boards…They are printed in China so the delivery time is lengthy…And they are pricey…But from what I am told they work great…Many stores have repeated.
But what does a small operator do?..How about 300 8 1/2" x 11" magnetic memo boards for $0.99 each…Full colour on both sides…Remember Smart Memo boards are much smaller once all the coupons have been removed…But they do have real good magnets…
To the memo board include some coupons…If your quantity is large enough you can use full colour sticky notes. For smaller quantities you can use printed strips of coupons…Or if you have a menu with coupons use that. Put all this together in a poly envelope from www.uniquepacking.com or have the memo board supplier put every thing in a poly bag… …Maybe add a promo pen or regular magnet…
If the coupons are good enough you can give them to a local school or club and they can sell them for a couple dollars as a fund raiser…Also you might be able to co-op the memo board with your soft drink supplier or other local merchant…
