That is the advertising budget for a ringtone web site? Having seen
monthly fees
for establishing contacts for PRSMS it makes 400 seem like pocket money.
I suggest they join a portal site such as mobbits - but only if they have a
large range of content - if they are anything like the majority of PRSMS
companies they buy in and resell somone elses content, taking a cut of the
profits. As portals such as mobbits are already likely to have a
relationship
with the content owner they would likely be wasting thier time.

Most of the PRSMS jobbies seem to advertise in the Sun and Star - not
sure how far 400 will go though.

The other ad trick that is reputed to work well is putting stuff on
beermats in pubs.
FWIHH+ a lot of young males buy tones/logos when they are pissed, coming
out of the pub. :-)

+ via the PRSMS "grapevine" (at least 3rd hand) so don't rely upon it
that much :-)
