High Speed Internet or Broadband Internet is what I tried to focus on
rather than wireless internet. In the past some people were confused
with satellite or had thoughts of it working like their cell phone. So I
moved away from wireless in my advertising.
Now though, people assume wireless internet means they can roam anywhere
without wires, which is why they choose our wireless broadband.
So, I'm not sure if wireless is as much a hinderence as in the past.

I have used the Yard Signs back in our dial-up days and they always worked
well for us too. I just needed to reword it to stop some of the
misconceptions. The worse is the think it is like cell service that their
laptop will hook too and they can use it anywhere in the US! I would like to
use DSL in someway because most of the people relate to that in our area
(our only competition is DSL) with it to not be too misleading. Thanks for
the input so far guys.
On another note, I am considering having some door hangers made up for the
same purpose, and/or some postcards. Have any of you tried this before? If
so, how well did it work? I would assume the postcards would need to be REAL
catchy to get their attention before they hit file 13. I know they would be
less expensive than the door hangers on delivery. The door hangers will give
a chance to talk to the person face to face though, which has to be better
than just a piece of paper.

Hello list,
I am having some 18"x24" yard signs made to advertise our WISP. What is the
concensus on saying what your service is. I could say "Wireless Internet
Service" but I get so many calls with from people with the misconception
that their laptop will automatically hook to it or it is a cell type
service. I have thought about just saying "Highspeed DSL" or something to
that nature. How do you guys handle this situation in your advertising?
