Re: [LUG] effectiveness of shop window advertising

[kevin <kevin.lucas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had some Ubuntu stickers in the Shop for 18 months now 
Just 2% percent of new customers recognize it as anything to do with Os's.

Most are Foreign.  

Have you looked at

for a bit on your local village?

I have also advertised Linux services in the Local Linkinhorne parish mag for 5 years but as yet have had no one come in saying they saw the ad and want to swop from M$.
