Are fridge magnets a good idea for marketting? (both residentail and business)

Can anyone reccomend a supplier to who can supply approx 60,000.
For marketing what? They woudl work well for a business where the customer needs to re-order regularly, but if you sell something that may be a large purchase every few years, then no as the magnet will get thrown away as the decor changes - I have done it myself recently!

Vistaprint may be a starting point for your magnets, but 60,000 is a LOT of magnets to trial marketing - a lot of money wasted if it doesn't work.....I would be inclinced to try 100 first and see how they are received/perceived before investing capital at that level.

Hey YD1

Have you done any kind of business yet?
You want sales reps for selling advertising.. but don't want to pay
You have an oppportunity to pay £2500 up front for this.. have you taken it:)
You dont know whch phone to get
you dont know how to invoice
You dont know how to pay suppliers.. if you have any :)
and you want a bespoke website done:)

guess you could be asking what you should have for lunch?.. sarnie or beans toast:)

LOL.. sorry .. but I find it funny

Guess you should have the beans on toast:)

You have done no research for yourself.. and the impression you have given is that you DO business.

and now you say you are TRYING to get into business.

You don't really have a clue do you. What makes you ask people to find you suppliers for quantities like 60000 magnets?
sales figures of 350 per month advertising.. at £500 a pop!.. and giving credit of £400 over a year or whatever!!!etc etc

Do you dream these figures?

and.. why should the good people who are replying to your threads constructively have to go through all your different threads to figure out that you are "trying" to get into business with mickey mouse figures... I guess you are "trying".. very trying.. IMO

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    If you are trying to get into business, have you tried Business Link?

    It has lots of advice for those in your position and also offers a whole range of free courses you can go on and access to business advisers for 1:1 help.

    They can also help you develop your business plan that will cover many of the areas you have been asking questions about ie finance, legal, marketing etc.

    Part of setting up your own business is going to be carrying out your own research and developing a plan to help maximise your chances of success.

    For me a forum is a community with common interests that offers each other advice and support, where you can develop contacts and your knowledge. It's about asking, but it's also about giving back.

    I would suggest being rude to longstanding members who have a track record of helping others, isn't going to really help you develop your reputation or encourage other members to help you.
