This flyer is for a website I'm developing that will be used to explain how freebie sites work. Just like all the millions of others out there, but better.

Here's the flyer

I think you need to get down to the point that they can get stuff really cheap. You do say that, but you need to be more catchy about it. How cheap? Free cheap? Emphasis on Free. Free is word that everyone loves, but don't get.

Otherwise good stuff.

You might get a few bites...definately sounds more "legit" than a "competing" flyer that might have "FREE" plastered all over it...but the domain doesn't make much sense to me (

near[free]gifts?

I had much trouble with the domain. I must have thought of thousands, the original hoping to be nearlyfree.com. Most of the URLs I thought of are taken by generic websites, such as what is currently nearlyfree.com.

chex Thank ye.

slease I wanted wide margins for the tabs so I could make a pile of like twenty sheets and cut tabs without having to make very accurate cuts. But I shall add at least two more tabs. Aye.

FYI, there's a reason that companies pay thousands upon thousands of dollars on flashing red "FREE" on a white background with a big picture of the item next to it. Because, in the real world, that kind of advertising works.

Yes, but this is a flyer, not a flashing banner. I clicked a flashing banner because I was bored and thus discovered freesites. I would probably not rip off a tab with a URL out of mere curiosity.

Yes and no.

If the flash or animated gif is especially gaudy looking, it will deter people. You can use a large font to spell FREE, and use a nice picture of the product, but it has to be professional looking for it to work like you say.

I suppose, in that case, I must ask Admin, what would you change?

I don't mean that sarcastically; I'd like some feedback and yours is just as welcome as anyone else's.
