Are you familiar with BUST Magazine? It's a young, hip (slightly edgy/feminist) magazine for primarily 20 - 30 something year old women.
BUST has a "Product Showcase" advertising section in it. The above is a sample of what the ads look like. They reach 400,000 people and cost $150. You include your website, your product name and price as well as the photo. That's it. It's 1 1/4" wide and 1" tall. Here's what I like, you can pay by Paypal. I don't know how many spaces are left, if any. It's important to first analyze whether your product fits these demographics. Grab an issue of the magazine, or at least go online to check it out. If it does, then good luck!
I advertised in the December issue and have received one great response. So if you find an issue, look for my white puppy dog bead in the product showcase.
Anyone else know of some wonderful advertising opportunities?
Marcy, I don't know where you get all of these great ideas! I have found that Twitter is one of the best places to "advertise." I get a lot of views by posting a link there.
ReplyDeleteHey marcy - I'm glad Bust has been working for you. I did an etsy co-op ad a few months ago and it didn't net me anything. If I advertise in Bust again, it will be on my own, for several issues in a row. I realize that will be expensive, but it costs money to make money. right?
