Hello All,

If your business gives discount on products and/or services via retail storefront or online, what are you willing to pay for advertising those savings with a new advertising service that can bring you customers throughout the year?

 If you`re reading this... it cost nothing to post a reply

It depends, one major factor to consider is what is your ROI going to be and can they guarentee it, or give you some committment that your expense outlay will get you the return you are expecting. It might be a handshake, but fool me once, shame on you.... you know the saying. I may trust once, and not for much money to see how it goes, if it works out as the "salesperson" said it would, I might try them again. Again, you need to understand what you have to gain from the service being offered and is it in your budget. Get references and check them out, people who have tried it and had success, a good reputable company would always be willing to provide references so you can check the integrity and success of the programs they are offering, if not, I wouldnt do it. Personal referrals from trusted friends and associates are of more value than a company that might cold call you as well. Business is done mostly due to relationships and trust, develop some of those with business associates ( maybe thru this forum over time) and get some references. Hope this helps.

Hi Tim,

First, thanks for responding.  I agree with the points you`ve made above.  In this senerio, this is a brand new advertising company with a network of members ready to receive savings from your company.  You ran across this company through searches on the web but have never heard of it before.   What price would you pay put your product/service infront of this network of members?  Free? $100? $500 $1000? more?...

May I ask what the "exposure" numbers are? Any info on verifiable member numbers? We, at GoTruckStop.com, have been very successful in "trade-out" advertising. Banner ad exchanges with high quality sites ... that have access to our target markets. Or a banner ad in exchange for a feature article in a newsletter or publication.

Would that type of "outside the box" marketing approach be available ... vs. you or anyone else wanting to put their hand into my pocket?

How much would you pay to advertise your business with a new service?
The quick answer is, the price doesn't matter as much as the ROI (Return On Investment). If you spend $300 a month on pay-per-click ads and get zero business, what good did it do to worry about what you paid? What if we could turn $300 a month into advertising in front of your target market 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year?

A little about why we do what we do...
AdvertiseForMoney.com opened in mid-2011 to bridge philanthropic concepts and the business sector through advertising services. We believe in taking responsibility for our global population to improve lives by providing services that are simple to use, high in value and stimulating to the economy.

We have taken the vehicle advertisement concept, mixed in technical components and contractual obligations and made it a viable advertising solution for our fellow corporate citizens and financial benefits for contracted vehicle owners. Imagine your ad on the back window, side window or entire wrap of a vehicle that meets the demographics and geographic criteria you provide. You can have rear window campaigns running around town throughout the freeways, streets and neighborhoods of your targeted geographic area, essentially turning traffic into your advertisement's captivated audience. Demographic information is used if an advertiser wants a 'soccer mom' as the type of person with the ad because of where s/he goes and the type of activities s/he does.

Give us a call, email or you can always visit our website for more information:
