Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is this another coupon or discount program?

No. Our program is designed to provide information and bring new customers to your door. We market directly to area visitors, who are primarily looking for information. We don’t believe you should add to the cost of advertising by giving your product away.

 

How is this different from a brochure?

In our case, size matters! The hotels prefer our display because it’s small and convenient. The visitors love the size of the cards and the maps on the back. Now we ask you — which would you rather carry in your pocket or purse: a stack of little cards or big brochures?

 

Can we use the cards internally?

Absolutely. Many of our clients use them as business cards, for promotions and include them in mailings. While the cards are property of, and inventory for Meal Tickets™ & Unusual Ideas® we encourage our clients to use them as needed.

 

Is the cost of advertising based on the number of locations, or the number of cards distributed?

Neither. As our locations grow your rate remains the same and your distribution increases. It’s a win, win situation for you.

 

How many cards are we likely to distribute?

It varies. However, on average our clients distribute over 9,500 cards each year. Since June 2002 we’ve distributed over 750,000 cards! Luckily we don’t charge by the card!

 

Do we have to design the cards and have them printed?

No, this is part of the service. We will work with you to custom design a full-color card including our proprietary map on the back. Once the design is approved your cards will be professionally printed and held as inventory for distribution. And the design services are FREE.

 

How often are the displays refilled, and who is responsible?

We replenish our displays on a monthly basis or more often as necessary to make sure the displays are full and clean.

 

Does it cost extra to be included on the website?

No. All of our advertisers are featured on our website for FREE. You receive email and web links along with all of your card information and graphics. And our What’s New feature will allow you to promote special events, new products and services through our site. It’s multi-media advertising, for the same low monthly rate.
