I just started a paper recycling project in Canoga Park. What is the most cost effective way of advertising it

Question

Start Zero Project is solely focused in recycling paper. This division has a sworn objective to help minimized the number of trees cut for worldwide consumption and to prevent paper waste from being dumped in the landfill where it degrades to produce methane which is a greenhouse gas. We offer free office recycling program evaluation/implementation, free bins, free pickup. Funds for ads is running low. Need at least free or cost effective way of advertisement.

Answer 1

That's a great cause. I wish you much success!

If you are looking to advertise your project, Lookcube is a great choice.

Lookcube is a free local classifieds website. Ads on Lookcube stay for 30 days and automatically renew, which is a real timesaver. Craigslist ads expire after 7 days, so reposting can become a real chore.

Answer 2

I would suggest you should engage in some PR (Public Relations) rather than strictly advertising.

The local media in the areas you operate should be more than interested in this type of business given the increasing community consciousness of the environment. Perhaps draft a press release or try and arrange interviews with local press. This is pretty much no cost and could really boost business if you can sell the idea that your business is newsworthly.

Best of luck

Sponsor, an events such as 'Inter College Debate or Declamation Competition' in your City or Town, on issue such as, Environments,  Global Warming, Impact of recycling paper on Environment and Economy, well covered by media.

Get the Press Note published in local daily news paper(s), stating the objective of your recycling paper project as your Corporate Social Responsibility.

With all the Best.

Answer 4

1.) Communicate with your town officers and see if they can help you.

2.) Try advertising with your recycled papers and pen and paste it in coffee shops or places were a lot of people hang out or pass by...

3.) Go to some nearby offices and talk with their management...
