Hi - My name is Ahna and I am an artist with my own business. One way to help promote is to exchange promotional materials. How it works: I send you some of my promotional materials such as my postcards, and you include one in with your sales packages and I do the same for you! I am looking for businesses outside the art market, I make jewelry, candles, perfume, makeup, stained glass and paintings so anyone not working in those fields would be great. You can send me business cards or whatever you have to promote your business. If you are interested, please contact me directly with your name, address and amount of promo materials you think I should send. Thank you!!

Re: Hi, I'm new here and am looking for promo trades...
Sat, January 12, 2008 - 2:38 PMI call that Cross marketing. It's not a bad way to go cheap easy and even when there is no logical nexus the cuctomers often find one based on their own needs.

Sat, January 12, 2008 - 2:43 PMi also call it cross marketing...
the word "promo" is usually used for a "gift" of some sort... either a physical thing (free sample, pen with your logo on it) or a monetary amount (10% off or free with purchase promise)...

It's also one of the more useless marketing tools.
Generally, to gain customers, one needs either a tightly focused marketing plan aimed at hitting SPECIFICALLY those that are your target market. Or, just a big ol' wide-based shotgun blast.
But, trading cards?
There are those groups out there, BMIor whatever it's called and such that you pay to join, and the members promise to use just you for their needs. This may be something more of what you're thinking.
Here in Seattle, there's a group called Biznik (www.biznik.com) that does something like this, but more relaxed and wider-based. Depending on what city you are in, there is probably something like one of these groups out there. -

Did you take that badly? It was not meant badly.
I'm just saying that if you are going to spend your valuable time marketing yourself, do the kind of marketing that has proven successful in the past. Let others pave that new path for you - you don't have to live and learn from other's mistakes.
Welcome.
