Flyers for New Year’s Eve

Posted by Foobooz on December 12th, 2011

A few weeks back we tested out a new advertising device that we dubbed Flyer Flow. It was tremendously successful and today we launch it as a new feature here on Foobooz. At the bottom of every page on Foobooz is now a rotating carousel of flyers highlighting special events. Right now they are all focused on New Year’s Eve. Click here to make like the ball at Times Square and drop to the bottom of the page. There you will find flyers for New Year’s Eve events.

If you are a bar, restaurant or venue owner, you can still advertise your New Year’s event. Email advertising@foobooz.com for more information.
