Things are looking different around here — we’re doing some spring cleaning and rolling out new categories and new features.
You’re gonna love them, we promise.
Right away, you’ll notice we’ve moved the farmers market and garage sale tabs, but to where? Farmers markets is now under restaurants; you’ll find garage sales under shopping. Our wildly popular Kids Eat Free tab is under restaurants as well. And welcome to our newest tab category: Cheap to Do Right Now, a weekly calendar of events under $10 per person.
How to talk directly to Indianapolis–now that Facebook is shutting us up.
Our second big piece of news is Selfie, the box at the start of each post inviting you to place your message there. While we do not charge businesses to post their deals and have no plans to change that in the future, not everyone has a deal, discount, or freebie to announce. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t like to reach out to the folks flocking to our pages.
Selfie lets you put that text message in front of our audience, and you control how long and how much to spend. And unlike Facebook, we won’t hold you message hostage from our visitors. Simply type your message, hit post, and follow the prompts to determine the time limit and submit your secure credit card information.We suggest you compile your message on a word document first, then cut and paste, as editing is a bear on the screen. You’ll have a chance to link your message to a website as well.
Broadstreet is the company behind the scenes handling the transaction, so we need to pass along that all transactions are final. This service is geared to
• Businesses or families looking to hire
• Direct sales reps (Avon, Thirty-One, Origami Owl)
• Blog owners (or Etsy shop owners) seeking more traffic
• Contest entrants who need votes to win
• Writers promoting books
• Musicians offering CDs
• Local businesses creating excitement about their upcoming openings
• Concerned citizens gathering signatures on a petitition
• Families seeking to gather 1,000 birthday cards for Grandma’s 100th birthday
• Congratulations messages on promotions, newborns, engagements, anniversaries
Match your message to the topic, or tie it to a popular post. You always welcome to ask us for advice and traffic numbers at info@indianapolisonthecheap.com. If a post you want doesn’t have a Selfie box, ask us!
And because we are Indy on the Cheap, we can’t violate our own rule. So, this service is normally priced at $5 a day. Between now and Labor Day, we’re offering Selfie messages for just $1 per day, with price breaks when you schedule by the week, month, and year. Yah, that’s right. Price breaks from $1! ‘Cause that’s how we roll.
Want to try it out? The Selfie box at the top of this page is FREE to use for a day.
Thank you, as always, for supporting us.
