Buy and Sell Advertising Space on Packaging

Make Money Selling Advertising Space on Your Product Packaging

Packaging is big business and the commercial market for product packaging is growing at an unprecedented rate. The need for greater efficiency, lighter packaging and faster delivery means there is pressure on manufacturers in all industries to smarten the way they deliver their goods to wholesalers and end users alike.

Packaging is a cost center and as such manufacturers are constantly seeking out new methodologies and technologies to improve product delivery, lifespan and user experience whilst at the same time reducing costs per unit. One way to turn this cost center into a profit center is to consider selling advertising space on a portion of your product packaging. It might be a small area initially - just enough for an interested advertising partner to print a logo and website. But if the adgreement is favorable, you might increase the space (or spaces) available for advertisers to utilize.

Selling advertising space on your product packaging is also a great way to commence or enhance a strategic alliance. You can profit immensely by aligning your products with those which complement your product range. An advertising agreement - an adgreement, can be highly beneficial and financially rewarding for both parties. You can sell ad space on your packaging and generate an additional revenue stream and interest in your product and the partner product. Your advertising partner achieves greater brand awareness and interest in their offerings.

If you are interested in starting a new revenue stream, you can add this logo above to your packaging where you will sell advertising space. In addition we can generate a QR code unique to your business and its products which will lead a scanned device to a page on the adgreement.com website showing the ad space you have available for purchase. Get in touch with adgreement and we can get the ball rolling and start promoting your business, its products and services.

Newsletter for adgreement.com coming!

I'm getting it together! It's been a busy week and now I can sit down and compile everything that is newsworthy and put the newsletter together. Things are moving a bit better as 2013 draws to a close and Christmas approaches us. It has been a strenuous year, primarily because the firm developing our website dragged their feet and did not help whatsoever when they were needed most! Oh well, you can't force someone to give you their 100% best service: that has to come from their heart!

The main thing is that adgreement is operational, functioning (to some extent) and we have some customers who have come forward and offered advertising space up for grabs. Right now we have a bundle of billboards for our outdoor advertising section, some mobile advertising trucks in the USA, a handful or commercial radio advertising time slots in Australia and now our first website advertising space.



The hundred dollar question for me right now is how I am going to update ALL the social media accounts?!!! I have dozens of accounts and have only had time to do the most popular social media: Facebook, Twitter and Photobucket have been active. Now I need to find a free facility that can update multiple social media accounts simultaneously. Years ago I had such a facility which I used for my boatplace.com.au website, but that was sold and the new owners insisted on users paying.

My plan for the next week is to start contacting potential buyers of ad space to match up with our sellers. I have spent a considerable amount of time and effort e-mailing businesses who might offer advertising space. So now it is time to invest some effort into the other side of the buy and sell equation! The point I need to stress is that it is equally important to the success of adgreement.com that buyers of advertising space register and let us (and the advertising world) know what they are looking for.

Anyway, I am psyching myself up to complete this newsletter, so I will post a link when it is ready and uploaded onto the adgreement website.

QR Codes

I have been mucking around on Google again and was looking at QR codes; those funny little square bar code-like symbols that are popping up everywhere. You often see them by themselves with no explanation at all as to what they are or represent, as the creator wants you to scan it and visit a website. So finally I generated a QR code for adgreement.com which looks like this...

While I don't think the QR code is ultra-special by itself, it could be useful for advertising clients who advertise on the adgreement website and want their own QR code. So what we can do is offer to generate each advertising client their own unique QR code. They can display the code on their product packaging, website, shopfront, labels, sign space, or vehicles etc which people can then scan into their mobile cellphones and tablets. The QR codes will direct visitors to the advertiser's ads on adgreement.com.

Maybe it could be useful after all. But anyway, I think it's a fun concept and a great way to aruse people's curiosity.

Billboard and Transit Advertising

Billboard and Transit Advertising 

Today has been tiring. I have been on Google researching billboard and transit advertising companies in the UK, USA, Ireland and South Africa. The later part of the day was spent e-mailing potential customers and letting them know about adgreement.com. Being a new business, this is always challenging. Many potential customers half-expect to be dealing with a multi-national corporation, not a start-up!!!

It is part of a long process to build up awareness and with any luck, get some really good quality customers to work with. At this stage, it does not matter about the size of the client or what country they are located; so long as they have some good quality advertising assets with which to work and there is a potential market for that ad space to be utilized!

Currently I am interstate on assignment and the weather where I am is very warm. I'm tired and it has been a long day talking with people, sending e-mails, responding to inquiries and conducting Skype conversations with potential customers. All good stuff, but I am seriously in need of a nice walk along the beach and maybe a good surfing session!

Interestingly, I happened across some great little companies who handle taxi cab advertising in London and the wider UK. This is a great little niche market and I hope to be able to assist some of these businesses expand their markets and sell lots of advertising space for them! Another advertising asset has also surfaced in London that I had not given thought to: telephone booths/boxes. In many parts of the world they are disappearing due to mobile technology and operating costs. But in the UK they are almost a recognized national icon: you can't get rid of the telephone box!

Next week I will be traveling once again. So I am going to go and have a rest and perhaps go for that walk down the beach!
