    Default gigposters.com promo idea...

    Ya know, i was thinking earlier today...

    There's alot of folks here who set up at the shows they do posters for and sell their prints.

    Wouldn't it be cool if they could also have some "official" postcards there along with their own stuff to sell/give away, that promoted gigposters.com and mebbe the API or Flatstock?

    Just some freebie give away stuff (4x6 postcards, etc...) that they could hand out to folks who buy their posters, or who are interested in seeing more poster art.

    Be a neat way to cross promote the gigposters.com/API/Flatstock and also draw folks into seeing other artist's work on this site....

    ...of course, folks who wanted to do it to help promote Clay's site would have to kick in some bucks to help print up a few thousand postcards, or have a general design that could be downloaded and sent to your favorite postcard printer, but still....

    i dunno... just an idea....

    Thanks Rob .. you rule

    I actually thought of doing something similar a couple years ago. I was going to have a pdf or something on the website that people could download.. print out .. and post to promote .. kinda thing.

    But then .. I thought about it too much .. and figured no one would actually do it .. so it wouldn't work.

    A cross-promotion thing might work better actually. One that will help everyone. Keep the ideas flowing..

    No sweat Clay!

    I just figure that alot of that stuff, API, Flatstocks, etc... came about from most of us hanging here and sharing ideas, etc...

    Some guy goes to a show, grabs a... let's say, Stainboy poster. He also sees a stack of postcards there, grabs one, and checks out the rest of the art that's up on this site, learns about Flatstock, etc...

    He tells two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on.....

    Just a lil simple way of cross-promoting each others work and your site Clay, which made a TON of it all possible.

    this site and the service it provides for us is more than enough reason to promote and support it regardless. well worth the time and energy.

    I agree, just the insperation I get coming to this site is enough for me to kick down some cash/time to help out. Not to mention the contacts, tricks/tips and smart ass replies.

    Clay - please do the PDF flyer thing. We always send alot of swag and stuff in with all of our orders. It would be so easy to print those up and stick 'em in with our packages. Postcards would bend up pretty bad in a tube and a flyer would work just as well.
