New Type of Low Cost Marketing - Hope for Businesses in Slow Economy

June 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Don't be surprised when you go into your favorite restaurant and see something new: advertisements on your drinking straw.  Drinking straws: hardly a person in America doesn't come in contact with this common, inexpensive commodity on a daily basis.  StrawAds has turned these factors of affordability and mass distribution into an opportunity for low cost, high volume advertising in a slow economy by allowing FDA food-safe messages to be printed directly on straws. Using about the same amount of information that you'd find on a billboard or business card, the straws help large or small advertisers target customers locally or nationally at the type of restaurant or event that appeals to their market. StrawAds distributes anywhere that straws are consumed - major restaurant chains, local eateries, stadium sports, outdoor sports like PGA events, trade shows and even at event destinations and attractions.

In an economy where decreased revenues and increasingly less effective traditional advertising leaves virtually all businesses looking for new, effective, affordable ways to get their name and message to the masses, StrawAds sparks new hope. Straw advertisements start from 2 cents or less and sit in front of potential customers for 15-30 minutes or more allowing the message to sink in and the advertiser to become the topic of conversation over meals or at events - and did we mention that the straws are free for restaurants and event centers - helping to benefit the bottom line profits of these businesses as well.

This new advertising innovation means that businesses can reach more people directly for longer time and for less money than virtually any other type of advertising… so will this be the next big thing in advertising and help to move the American economy forward?… We don't think that notion is grasping at straws.
