This is an effective marketing idea that has worked very well for us in promoting our bead store. It's a simple, inexpensive idea that will work overtime for you.

Get a magnetic car sign or static that you place on the back windshield or side or your car which advertises your store or website. Simply having your web address printed on the sign is enough to arouse someone's curiousity and they'll end up checking out your site when they return home.

You should have a memorable and, preferably, short domain name in the .com family. If it can't be short, at least make sure it's memorable and clever. If you have a physical store, you can promote the name of the store along with the store phone number with a brief slogan describing what you offer.

We've had numerous customers come into our store as a result of our magnetic car sign. I can't tell you how many times I've been approached in a parking lot with someone wanting to know more about my business as a result of seeing the sign.

Plus, everytime you're stopped at a traffic light, you know the person behind you who has nowhere else to look while waiting is wondering about your business and may very well visit your website when they get home. Just make sure that domain name is memorable, so they won't forget!
