	~~=== Keyrings and other bits & bobs.[[Image:Keyring generic free.jpg\|right]] ===~~

	Because you are allowed four offers, it you have not used them all and have time you can choose something that is free, like a keyring, pen, or bag. These offers do change and are a way of trying before you buy as well. You have to use their designs and not amend anything other than the text or you will have to pay. Also look out for postage costs.

	=== Magnets [[Image:Car door magnet generic.jpg\|right\|318x210px]] ===		=== Magnets [[Image:Car door magnet generic.jpg\|right\|318x210px]] ===

	There is often an offer for magnets. Fridge magnets are handy to give children, they will probably be put on their fridge at least. The larger size is excellent for putting on skips, or metal cupboards. Unfortunately they don’t stick to them all. They do occasionally offer a ~~large~~ car magnet ~~free or~~ fairly cheap. These do look good if your family will let you keep it on the car~~, and you do not live in a neighbourhood where they will be pinched~~.		There is often an offer for magnets.

After the first couple of orders they usually come much quicker than stated.<br>Upload of photos, don’t go mad, better to start with just the one and wait for the offers as they are sometimes allowed free or cheap. Don’t pay for reverse sides, unless you really want it. The calendars on the backs of cards are hard to see anyway.

	There is often an offer for magnets. Fridge magnets are handy to give children, they will probably be put on their fridge at least. The larger size is excellent for putting on skips, or metal cupboards. Unfortunately they don’t stick to them all. They do occasionally offer a large car magnet free or fairly cheap. These do look good if your family will let you keep it on the car, and you do not live in a neighbourhood where they will be pinched.		There is often an offer for magnets.

	You usually have to pay to upload logos however once uploaded you can reuse it on many things as often as you wish. Therefore it is worth making one just for your group. If you cannot do it yourself then ask on freegle.in/graphics, or email  Graphics@iLoveFreegle.org  tell them what you want and someone will offer to do it for you.<br>Another tip is have a few ready, and maybe some local scenes with the logo on. You often get a free calendar offer or after Christmas they go cheap for 50p For these you can upload upto 13 photo’s free of charge. You can then use them for other stuff. They are nice calendars too.		You usually have to pay to upload logos however once uploaded you can reuse it on many things as often as you wish. Therefore it is worth making one just for your group.

	These are small cards with your groups url on. There are always offers on these and if you don’t need lots urgently just go for the free 250 and perhaps another 250 if they are fairly cheap. <br> Don’t forget to use the shortened version freegle.in/groupname it is much easier to remember and to get on one line.<br>You are given several lines to fill in. You do not have to follow those suggested, you can change the size and colour of your font’s, and move your stuff around.<br>Try not to crowd it by putting too much in. <br>Business cards are best handed out personally, or left in libraries, doctors surgeries, church community tables and other places where they likely will only be picked up by those interested. <br>Putting them through doors is neither cost effective nor good the the environment. Think of the amount of your post that goes straight into the recycling bin!!		These are small cards with your groups url on.

	These are really good for notice boards. Make them clear and bold. They are A5 size and with the competion for space on notice boards I find they are much more likely to be kept than a home printed one.		These are really good for notice boards.
