Hi, If money is the problem, I think there are several ways to do a promotion that cost much less: 1. Use a SMS (Short Messaging System) ads. In Indonesia, there are several major news webportal that offer ads placement through cellular SMS. 2. Put ads in community bulletin, such as church bulletin, etc. It costs much less, but I believe the readers could be big business owners. Well, surely the scope of the above media is less than newspaper ads. But it's a start. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 22:24:38 up 12:27, 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 GNU/Linux public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
