We offer several types of advertising and promotional help here at CincyIndies. We can set up or assist you in the following forms:
* Online advertising through national classified sites such as Backpage.com
We have 2 forms of ads that we can create for you:
1. Simple text HTML with photos
Here's an example of a recent active ad we created...
No Saints No Saviors
2. Full web page-sized HTML table ads with hosted graphics
Here's an example of a current running ad we created...
Sonny Moorman CD Release
(We can also create an event flyer and post it as a full page ad using this method.)
There are many advantages to advertising on national sites like Backpage.com. You can advertise locally or nationally, and their ads are scanned and added to Google listings. If you run an ad for any length of time, it will be added to your Google listings in association with your business or entertainment project name. Another PLUS is that the advertising costs are very minimal as compared to other sources. In one CD release campaign that we launched on Backpage.com, we were able to advertise a music artist's CD release in 32 major cities across the country for over 24 weeks with less than $100. The resulting CD sales were many times over that amount, and recording artist got a lot of "bang for their bucks" advertising that way.
*Any ads that you place by this method can be linked to on your other networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace Music, giving you multiple uses for the ad. This method also gives you a more overall professional presence.
* Targeted advertising and promotions through social networking sites
We can create a targeted ad on Facebook for you, like the ones that run on the right of the page in your Facebook account. Those ads are pay-per-click, and more expensive, but can be very useful in targeting a specific group of people.
* Targeted event promotions through Evite invitations
You send us your email mailing list, and we create an Evite account for you, create the event invitations, and send them out for you. This service also includes RSVP updates about your event promotion. You can also post links to your Evite invitation on all of your social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, which gives you even more usage value from this service.
* Custom graphic art promotional tools
We currently offer custom event flyer and single or multi-frame banner ad creations. We do create many of our own graphics in most of the promotional work that we do, and in the web sites that we design.
We can create a custom event flyer for you that can be used as a printed poster to place in a venue, and can also be used as a full-page graphic ad online. Here are examples of 2 event flyers that were used both ways...
And here is an example of a multi-frame banner ad that we created, that is now being run on the Blues Foundation web site at Blues.org...
