Promoting Nomadic Backpacker
I keep coming up with innovative ways to promote Nomadic Backpacker using analogue techniques.
Well they may not be new ways but I haven't seen travel bloggers do much beyond getting some business cards or getting some T-shirts and now since the pandemic, maybe some masks. No one is going the full distance. Everyone is concentrating on digital promotion.
I have business cards, I have T-shirts, I have masks. I even had stickers made up.
Yes, you see a few adventurers on motor cycles or in their 4WD trucks, with their stickers on the signs on top of some col in the Alps or at some dusty auberge in the middle of the Sahara but I haven't seen any backpacking bloggers do it.
And I have 4 more ideas in the pipeline, so stay tuned.

I have had 3 Nomadic Backpacker T-shirts done with mixed results:
Design #1 was done by Miss CDMX. The material was not that good and the T shirt, slightly too big.
Design #2, I had done in San Cristobal. The material was the same as the first one. I chose one size down. This proved too small and the logo was too small and too high.
Design #3 is a variation on design #1. I had it done at Office Depot in Mexico City. The material is good, the size M, is good, the printing ain't so good. It's ironed on, prone to cracking and well, it's just not Gortex and it's just a bit too large. You need arms like a freaking orang-u-tan to take a selfie to get the whole logo in and some back ground.
Last year I had some Nomadic Backpacker masks made up, 2 designs:

And the Nomadic Backpacker stickers, which we stuck strategically on lamp posts and such places across Roma Norte in Mexico City:
Miss CDMX had black on white and white on black stickers done. It set a prescident and got the ball rolling. The stickers are prone to coming off if the surface is too dirty and are not water proof but the idea is grand!
And I had some Business cards printed:
