There are many places on the net where you can get lotsa freebie services, from free banners to free promotion, to I don't know what all. Most request some sort of link back to their homepage, if you use their free services. Personally, I consider it plain good manners to give some sort of acknowledgement, as they tend to rely on getting coverage, to keep going. No, that wasn't a nag, to get you to give me a link on your page, or anything. I just was brought up to use manners.
Anywho, some sort of text link, button, or banner is requested, but not always mandatory. Many of these places also can be excellent sources of instruction on how to do things, ie banner places can tell you about banner design, what have you.
The places I have listed here are places that I've used, often several times. I've also found then to generally be fairly user friendly, and with (usually) plain and simple instructions. Instructions so straight foreward that most people who can follow instructions on how to boot up a computer, could use their services with a modecum of success. Many of them will even answer your questions on how to use the service.
As always, I will do my best to answer your questions, if they're posted on my message board, and I practice the philosophy that the ONLY dumb question is the one that wasn't ever asked. So, please post your questions, as I won't belittle you for doing so. Frankly, that's how I picked up most of my knowledge on computers. I kept asking "dumb" questions, until I understood what was going on, and what I had to do, to complete a given task!
Greeting Cards
Did you know that remembering a customers birthday, or even sending them a card celebrating a holiday (preferably germain to their faith, if any) can turn an occasional shopper in to a loyal customer? If you've ever received one yourself, think of how it made you feel.... kind of special, right? Like the business and staff thought of you as more than a life support and transport system for your wallet. That you were an individual who's business they actually wanted!
Well, you cab do the same thing for your customers, and give them that same warm, fuzzy feeling, especially in todays supersonic speed lifestyles! You'll be surprised at the results!
