How to get Computer Parts Promo Banners for Free?

June 22, 2009 7:48 AM

I have a small Computer Repair and Web Design company and would like to decorate the store front with some cheap or free banners, cardboard cutouts and similar items from companies like Intel, AMD, Asus, and HP. Where can I find such things?

I think most of the time when stores display things like this it's because they're somehow associated with or certified by that brand or company. So maybe you have to contact those companies and see what you need to do. (Or maybe they'll just send you some stuff because they'll be happy for the free advertising.) Otherwise, you probably have to just print them yourself.

Write them a letter and ask for them. I can pretty much tell you that you will either get what you ask for or be ignored. You've got nothing to lose except postage.

Best answer: Whoever you buy your Intel, AMD, Asus, and HP parts from can get you these. Next time you are making an order, ask for some point-of-sale swag.

Your distributor.

Response by poster: Thanks for the responses. We called our distributor and they said they will send some stuff tomorrow! Funny we didn't think of that. It seems obvious now.
