Brainstorming

any good ideas for forum prize contests?

i dont know... something like best newcomer, best noob helper... quiz...

Some great prizes is a texas holdem book of there choice or maybe send out spinners or markers of your website name on there and you set them up there own exclusive bonus code or referral codeand when another person signs up that person gets the bonus or referral money or promotion.

Another nice gift would be a good set of plastic playing cards. Those in essence will last forever.

One other suggestion would be make them a moderator for a month. Just a thought.


Poker Advertising for free-drop me an email and I will send you out my latest email campaign.

Act now the next deadline is this Sunday to be approved on my free advertising campaign. This will be sent out just prior to Super Bowl XL.

Take care,

Kirk

What has worked for me lately is going to major sporting events in my area and using STICKERS.

I basicly use 4" by 2" mailing labels and use a free downloaded Avery printing program to print on the sticker sheets. I usually have a neat sticker with a website (i.e. www.partypoker.com) and a bonus code with details about the bonus in large red type. I add my URL (i.e. www.pokertothemax.com) and make it look professional by adding Mastercard logos or other poker pics.

I find that sticking them inside bathroom stalls or on the top of payphones usually makes them last through several events, thereby increasing there repeated exposure and possible success.

I also leave business cards that look similar on the urinals and on top of the payphones or on tables where people eat or drink at the arena.

I find that I can get between 4 and 20 signups from one 45 minute effort each time...although the results vary considerably from event to event.

I put business cards round a few pay phones a while back, but came to the opinion that if someone doesn't own a cell phone, what chance is there that they own a computer.
Now Im going to concentrate on university campuses and public transport. I think you can have luck by just always having a small amount of flyers/ business cards with you at all times, and like leave one behind when you take a cab, or on a bus ect without much effort.

Find all the local underground poker clubs in your area.
Contact all of them and work out deals so you can advertise your site in their clubs - bring free food, beer, pops, whatever will please them into letting you hand out your business cards there.

Good Idea, There are 2 local Poker Clubs in my local area, they are not underground though. One recently installed 5 computer terminals for online play, so I dont think they'd be too pleased about me handing out my leaflets, but I guess I could do it along the street a little.

Corpfan1 - I'm going to try your idea of mailing labels. I bought 1,000 2" x 4" labels and I'm going to put my bonus code/website url on there. I'm gonna have to go a distance for sporting events but I think it's worth it.

I even put them in bus terminals and stations on phone booths and near the route maps. I think no one has anything else to do but read them when they are waiting for the bus or train. I have been to a couple of places where I put them up and some have still been up from 6 months ago.

Just a thought.
