Its the holiday season and if you don't already have a marketing plan in place, it may be time to plan for next year. I wanted to start a thread to discuss different marketing ideas, and then discuss there outcome ROI, etc... over the holiday shopping season.... My main Marketing efforts this year will be: #1 PPC (But I scaled it back from last year) #2 Magazine advertising (First Year Doing this) #3 Run of Network CPM ads (Value click....) As I go through the holiday season I will share what’s working best for us.... if any one else wants to join in please do!! My site is best described as specialty electronics.
I have done magazine advertising and I am still earning recurring income from it. My advice is to haggle hard on rates. Often you can get a quarter of their first offered price.
Placing Google ads in other sites Digg Advertising in other sites (A shit load) Ads in search engines (A shit load) Submitting articles on a weekly basis Social bookmarking sites Affiliates Sometime next year I will be doing infomercials, and have sponsors pay for the air time.
