Other Advertising
Thinking about your customers and their demographic can be important when considering
other forms of advertising.
A nifty way to make a big splash in advertising, especially if you're going to be providing

the school in return. Finally, since I took her advice and was donating to the school there
was an added bonus . . . she ran my ads for free.
There are options to take mobile advertising to a new level. Consider a car wrap. It's a
fast-growing trend in marketing and is quickly becoming the preferred form of outdoor mo-
bile advertising. The computer repair industry is a competitive environment, and a vehicle
graphic can easily be installed on your car or truck to promote your business twenty-four
hours a day!
As a way to communicate with your customers at the lowest cost per impression, a car wrap
offers one of the biggest bangs for the buck of any advertising medium. All you need to do
is your daily routine and your vehicle does the hard part—the
