grocery store? CPA and affiliate offers.

Hello warriors,

My friend runs a grocery store in a big city downtown area. He asked me to design a website for his store. Just a simple website (about, hours, location, contact etc). I will use WordPress so I shouldn't take a lot of my time.

Since he is a really close friend I will not charge him for the website. He will pay for his own domain and will get hosting using my affiliate.

He told me that I can put flyers and business cards for my web design biz at his store. It's good idea since the store is in the downtown area and next to a theater and art center. A lot of biz owners visit the theater and the art center so I may get couple of clients. The store is also close to a community college.

My question is,

Do you think it's a good idea to print flyers and promote some affiliate products? For example, the store sells and rent movies. So I was thinking to have an offer from Netflix with QR code to get one month free trial. Most people who rent and buy movies from his store are students from the community college. Is that a good idea?? What other things/products/service I can promote?

I don't want to promote cheap CPA offers. I'm looking for something that will pay at least $15 commission.

Thank you all for your time.

    The Netflix idea is a good one. Anytime in Offline, you can take a related core product, and promote an Online service to it, its a great combination.

    In your printed flyers you want to do 2 things. You want to advertise the offer, and you want to make it a bit obvious to who is making the offer. Something like "In cooperation with Green's Grocery and your business name, We are offering one free month of Netflix use the code below to start your offer now."

    You want to do the same with HIS web site. Advertise that the website is up, and YOUR company designed it. This kind of changes the dynamic of the "Free" Website. Use 'Whole Foods' site as an example. How can you use this model to help promote this store's business. Better yet, how can a business owner that sees the flyer and looks at the site perceive your service working for THEIR business.

    If you are going to give your services away for free with the idea in place it may get you MORE business, you need to step up and make that FREE website great on many levels. The FREE site will actually be YOUR calling card. Even at free if you provide mediocre design, it will get mediocre results, and you will at best get mediocre referral business from it!

    Hope that Helps!
