HOW & WHERE TO PASS POSTCARDS OUT YOURSELF
The following listings are places that you may want to consider
for placing a small stack of ten to twenty postcards. In many of
these places simply place them without permission. Others, you
will want to get permission, and in doing so you will have the
opportunity to review the postcard offer with the person in
charge. You may be able to sell these people the MO/MLM Machine
reports by simply asking for their permission. For example, let's
say you want to place a stack of cards on the counter of your
favorite corner shop. You simply say to the person in charge,
"Do you mind if I leave a few of these cards here?" If he wants
to know what they are, you have a good chance of explaining the
program to him, and perhaps selling it to him.
Another good method is to offer to PAY the retail establishment a
penny or two if they include your postcard with their packaging
bag. If you can trust the person you are dealing with, you will
get hundreds of your postcards circulated each day automatically.
If you look around, you will find all kinds of places that you
can place a stack of ten or more postcards. When you circulate
your postcards this way, it is a good idea to code the location
with a number so you can tell what places are working for you.
You can then check on these locations every week or so and keep
them replenished.
NOTICE
Make sure that you comply with your local bye-laws and
regulations when you are circulating literature. If you have
questions, check with your local authorities.
LITERATURE RACKS
Literature racks are perfect for distributing your literature. Do
you have any of those public literature rack areas in your large
supermarkets? If so, this is one of the first places to put your
literature. This is a good example where and why you will want to
code your literature so you can tell what locations are working
best for you.

pass time and will read anything they can get their hands on.

BULLETIN BOARDS
Bulletin boards are great! If you have access to these, a lot of
people will see your offer. I suggest that you enclose ten or so
postcards or mini-flyers in a clear plastic bag and use a drawing
pin to attach it to the bulletin board. Just pin the upper rear
edge so that the bag is open and easy to extract a postcard from.
Here are a few places you can consider.
- Libraries
- Public auction notice boards
- Government buildings
- Post offices
- Factory notice boards
- Office notice boards
- Travel rest areas
- Senior schools
- Colleges
- Restroom notice boards
- Lorry driver stops
- Make your own place with the plastic bag trick and attach them
to telephone poles, lifts, etc.
- Unemployment offices.
MORE PLACES!
- Computer bulletin boards
- Trade shows. Great! Here you pass out cards to the exhibitors
or get there early and leave a few at each stand. Mingle with the
crowd and personally pass out cards. And don't forget the notice
boards, car windscreens, and hotels, etc.
- County fairs. There are loads of people to mingle with.
- Car boot sales and flea markets. Pass out cards to people
exhibiting and mingle with the crowd. The people that have stalls
are perfect candidates since they are trying to earn extra money
part time on the side .
- Business Opportunity Meetings. If you watch your newspaper, or
visit a few hotels, you may find several locations where business
groups regularly attend. This is fairly standard practice with
the Multilevel Marketing groups where new people are constantly
being invited to an opportunity meeting. Consider these places so
you can mingle and pass out a few postcards personally or to
place on car windscreens.
Here's a powerful one that I won't even count! Telephone
boxes! Place your literature on any flat shelf, or use the
plastic bag trick. Do you think you can find a hundred or so
telephone booths? I think so. Don't you? Go for it!
Well, there you have it . . . 68 ways to circulate postcards post
free. Yes, I know that we advertise only 65, but I like to give
my customers a little more than they were expecting. That way, I
stand a good chance of having satisfied customers that buy from
me again. In fact, since this report is focused on distributing
literature locally, I have added another section to this report.
Namely, how to mail postcards locally. In our report, 'How To
Make Up Front Cash Generating MLM Leads By Selling Moneymaking
Report By Mail!', you will learn how to make money by mailing
postcards nationally.
