ICISIC · #1 () 08-29-2005, 01:33 PM

hey guys

ok I have purchased 1000 business card cds, i have burned the party software on them and have labeled each of them. Do any of you have any ideas or suggestions on the best places or areas to promote with these? Has anyone had success promoting with cds?

Are you talking about the bussiness card (size) CDs? If so how much did doing all of this cost you? How long did it take?

yes i am talking about the business card cds, the small pocket size ones. I got them pretty cheap but they are misprints (another companies lable is pronted on them but the cd is blank) all i have to do is print my label and stick it on pretty simple.

Hey, I bought 500 of those mini cd-r misprints off ebay for $50. So far I've made about a hundred of them for the party poker million bonus. I just got back from placing them on cars at a few bars where they hold Poker tournaments here in Arizona. We'll see if it works. They look awesome and I think if the people already have account then they will give them to friends because they look cool and are a free tournament entry.

I made the labels myself with label paper. Although it was tough cutting them out, it saved me money on getting mini labels professionally made. They look really good and they were cheap as hell to make.. I'll report the details of how it went and if I got any rmp's off this first distribution.

Yea I like the idea of giving the discs away as free entries into a major tournament versus just a basic poker site. This way users feel that the CD and software actually has value versus being just another CD from a poker site.

If you treat the CD like a "free ticket" I think it would work better. Perhaps you even include a marketing piece about the tournament with the CD and explain that you work for xxxx poker site and have been given 100 entries to give away. This will give the perception of value and entice people to use your CD versus just tossing it.

Hey this would probably work on conversions at Paradise if we used CD's for promoting the Paradise Million Dollar Tournament.

Great Idea Jeremy! I will use that on the mini cd sleeves I make next batch I do.

Stephen, Any cd-rom's in the future at Paradise??

I Just made Paradise my featured poker room on my site and I'm looking to promoting the heck out of the next Million dollar freeroll.

hey tomy so you just left the cds on peoples cars?

ICISIC · #8 () 08-31-2005, 04:07 PM

so best bet with the cds is offer the free entry or the 20% up tp 100?

I went to a few bars where I know they host poker tourney's on tuesday's. I put the cd's on the cars yes. Considering the bars probably would'nt be cool with me going inside and handing them out, puting the cd's on the cars windshield was the next best option for me.

I've got two rmp's so far from this mini cd gig. I have about 400-450 more mini
cd-r's to pass out.
