Re: [WISPA] RE: [WISP] Post card marketing
Hey, Rick, that's cool. I plan on doing something similar, but with doorhangers this summer. College kids will be contracted to go drive around and hang these on the doors of every farm, home, whatever, that appears to be in range of an AP. We expect to get real busy :) - Original Message - From: Smith, Rick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 7:37 PM Subject: [WISPA] RE: [WISP] Post card marketing We've printed ours on a color laser.

Re: [WISPA] RE: [WISP] Post card marketing
I have done both (door hangers and postcards). The postcards are much more effective than door hangers, and much cheaper overall. You have to offer a "special discount" on the postcard... like "$50 off installation when you mention this card". Travis Microserv Mark Koskenmaki wrote: Hey, Rick, that's cool.

Re: [WISPA] RE: [WISP] Post card marketing
I agree, door hangers have been nothing but a complete waste of time for us. However, yard signs (realty sign size) has worked very well. They are a constant reminder, door hangers get thrown in the trash. On 4/28/07, Travis Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have done both (door hangers and postcards).
