Free Tools For Local Businesses No 4 - Roswell Ruins Ad




Here is where we are hosting the source files that are available for any and all local businesses.  The source files are all licensed under a Creative Commons distribution and are as follows.

Based on a work at http://www.GloucesterCounty-VA.com.
Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available at http://www.GloucesterCounty-VA.com.

The conditions are as follows for the source files.  None of the present files can be removed or altered with the following exceptions only.  You may change the fonts as we can not control them inside the documents.  We have over 4,000 fonts to play with where the average word processing program only has a few hundred max.  So the chances of anyone having the same fonts available to them as we used in our files are not very likely.

  The next exception is that every business has the ability to put in their own image(s) in the Ad Sponsor box provided along with whatever text needed to promote your business.  These are the reasons we opened the license to include derivative works.  The source files are in Microsoft Word Doc. file format and also in Open Office odt. format.  This way just about anyone should be able to work with these source files.

Benefits for using this campaign?

1.) Promote your business and web site in an inexpensive manner.  (If you do not have a web site, you can send your customers to our site for the free download of the e-book).
2.) You are promoting history and education.
3.) You are promoting a local historical tourist attraction.
4.) You are supporting a non profit foundation.
5.) You are telling your customers that you are tourist friendly.
6.) You are promoting the local community.
7.) You get to give something of value away that does not cost you anything.

The ad is designed to get the customers curiosity up and visit your web site to get more information.  There, you have another chance to continue to earn repeat business.  You can attach coupons to the ad which will help you track the ad's effectiveness.  Plus you can not beat the cost.  You can load this ad on your site as an additional page, a PDF download file, turn the page into a jpeg image and send the image out for promotions, use it to email potential customers and more.

  Once you have completed your ad, printing on the average printer will cost somewhere between 15 to 20 cents per page.  100 pages will cost about $15.00 to $20.00.  For large distribution, take it to one of the local printers and see what they can do for you on rates.  Change the background color to Black or another solid color and make a poster out of the ad to hang in your business.  (Okay, we are allowing you to do that under the license as well).

  We have more ads in the works so watch for some exciting stuff to come out soon.  Enjoy.
