Promotion Items

I have a few promotion items at Cafepress, like other freelance writers. But, I have also worked with the big promotion companies. The thing is, when you are trying to convince someone to pay you $.20 a word to write their Ad copy, a business card is just not going to cut the mustard.

I have used magnets and pens. I think pens work, but not the ones with writing on them. You need a logo. I am not sure what it is, but people do not see you as a work at home person if you have a logo. Only businesses have logos, and only businesses hand out logo pens. So, if you are handing out logo pens, you must be a real business.

I know it sounds like marketing shmooze, but it works. There are other items that can work, but I haven't found them.
