Advertise on a Shoestring!

Now is the time that you need to put a big push for your small business.  People are getting ready for the summer and for many industries this means the busy time of year.

Fitness is important as women want to look good in their summer clothes, or even try to fit into last year's summer clothes.

Hair and Beauty is important now that Lag B'Omer is tonight so haircuts will be permitted again, There will be lots of weddings now until mid-summer So lots of Hair and Beauty treatments will be needed such as Facials.

School will be out soon, so kids will have time to make a big push for private tutoring.  If you teach any computer related topic, if you teach teenagers, then this is the time to advertise!

But where to put your signs?  In the past people put them at bus stops in the neighborhoods, it was easy, people looked at it and there was results.  But be careful now because the Jerusalem Muncipality is now inspecting all the bus stops and writing down and taking down the signs. They will call the phone numbers on the signs, make an appointment and present the business or private person with a ticket of at least 360NIS for each sign they find.  I know because a friend of mine, got 10 of these calls and had to pay 3600NIS!

Here is proof!
 Jerusalem Muncipality worker taking down the signs on the bus stop, and writing tickets for each one.  They put the signs in a notebook very nicely and present them to the business owner.
Here is a bulleting board, not far away from the bus stop and as you can see there are signs.  These will not get tickets!
Conclusion: Put your advertising on these bulletin boards, or on the bulletin boards in the lobbies of apartment buildings.  There you cannot get tickets. Of course you don't know how long they will stay up, but I have gotten results in the past.  

Good luck!
