Public Mobile banner for websites

RosieR — Sun, 05 Jun 2022 11:18:12 GMT

Is there a PM banner we can use for our websites?

I haven't seen them offer

But you can make your own and put your referral link;)

I don't think they provide an advertising banner for public use. You can try making your own or try contacting them: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/become-a-retailer

Just copy the big logo off the home page and put it in your site and link to here with it.

I would be careful about using any officially produced logo or Public Mobile design. There are copyright/trademark laws involved. Now, of course, if you get written permision, that's an entirely different story.

If you're attempting to do trade under cover of a company you're copying then sure.

If you're just some random personal site who happens to be enthusiastic about spreading the word of Public Mobile, I hardly think the company would care. Free advertising and all. As long as you're not passing off the work as yours.

Do they have permission to use the logo? Even if they don't, it's possible that Public Mobile is simply looking the other way because the site does bring them business.

Exactly. That sites a bit excessive but the company doesn't seem to care. We don't know what the OP intends yet but if it's what I suspect then no one would care.

@Anonymous I am just a random personal site and I also have vlogs on YouTube. Just asking if there was a PM banner to insert on my random personal site. lol no biggie nobody really reads my blogs. But a PM banner would look legit, don't you think? Thank you very much for your response.

@Anonymous I have several blog sites (just random personal sites) and I also do vlogs on YouTube and I intend to spread the good news about PM.

As long as you don't try to make unrealistic claims you are good to go. Nobody will mind good advertisement or recommendation

If you do refer to a promotion I would suggest you updated the info once it's gone. I've seen many sites referring to 25 signup credit that is gone for almost two years now. People don't use their friends' referrals but the advertised ones expecting $25 and second month free, then they feel duped and get upset, not pretty for either the new customer nor public mobile.

@totalUser thank you for your response. Yes, that would be a problem if PM changed the signup credits. I will certainly keep that in mind.

This discussion reminds me of the 90s webpages, with guest counters, guestbooks, "webrings", and those permanent "under construction" images. 😄

I've seen people put referral PM links in their public FB description or e-mail signature. I don't see why PM would mind this type of link. They are allowing / encouraging referrals because it's beneficial to them. It's free publicity, without any efforts on their hands. A win/win situation.

@maggamoka lol I had a couple of those "under construction" websites. They were just too time consuming to finish. And the finished ones were too expensive to maintain.

The more I think of it, it might not be a good idea to spread the good word about PM.

Thank you for your response.

@RosieR

What?! Why not? 🙂

You can put your referral code up. You can extol the virtues. You can tell about the occasional freebies.

It's just promos and such that would need maintenance due to becoming stale-dated. So don't.
