Pizzaboxes
pizzaboxes are not recylable because of the grease.That might be a trivial point but a good selling point to the merchant and the pizza shop owners.Basically owners of the pizza shop get their boxes for 50 cent of the cost for allowing local noncompeting merchants to advertise on the pizzabox.This saves them thousands a year.plus the merchant receive a low cost but highly effective way of reaching customers in in form of a cutout coupon.

Site sign installation service
Company site signs are temporally installed in front of customers home tell people who did the service for that resident.most construction renovation and home service companies realize the value of installation signs.however time restricts usually mean the sign never gets installed,thus the free advertisement benefits never get realized.this is a wise choice for a new business venture especially when combined with a door hanger service as clients will get advertisement from the signs and door hangers

thank you...cool article.

i noticed a restaurant in my area must have registered with a website that people order take out food from. the site gave them free plastic bags with thier logo and web address printed on it to bag their take out food.

i thought it was cool because it brings people to their take-out food site and exposes people to other restaurants registered with them for potential biz. great idea.

also in regard to campuses... one guy on another site was in the process of opening internet cafes strictly on college campuses and franchising them. he stopped posting as things were getting hectic with the big debut. i'm curious to see how things have gone.
