TETRIS is 25! In 1989 Alexey Pajitnov, the inventor of Tetris, became a celebrity thanks to his creation ‐ but he was unable to profit from his 1984 creation for many years because the Soviet state owned the concept. The first Tetris game was DOS based (photo right).

•Who can advertise for free? Private individuals (i.e. non‐commercial entities)
•What can be advertised? Anything that’s legal to own or use in Kuwait (event tickets, social events, furniture, cars, whatever!)
•Are you a buyer looking for something specific? Tell 1200+ expats in Kuwait what you are looking for, maybe you need a KD1500 budget used car, gym
membership in Salwa, a squash partner, dancing classes, you name it. A request will typically read “I am looking for ……. Contact David 112233445”
•How to contact the newsletter: mail us on [email protected] or [email protected]
•How much does it cost? Nothing! Except for a bit of your time, that’s all!
•Can non‐subscribed people advertise in the newsletter? For sure!
•May you resubmit “unsold” goods? No problem.
•Who receives the newsletter? It gets sent out to around 1200 expat email addresses, but as many of these are forwarded to third or fourth parties
your guess will be as good as ours.
•How often does the newsletter get published? At least once a month, or twice if its a busy month.
•How safe is my email address if I subscribe to this newsletter? The newsletter database is managed by the owner of www.abcq8.com who ‐ after a
decade in the country ‐ understands and respects the sensitivity of the subject. No email will ever be traded commercially or made available to any third
party.
•Refer http://www.expatserviceskuwait.com/eshots.htm
•Advertising tips:
Send photographs of you sales items – works a charm!
Include your phone number in the ad – you’ll sell more stuff quicker than doing business via email.
Price your items strategically – don’t use the “I paid KDxx a year ago so I should be getting KDyy for it” approach, remember buyers have a
wide commercially available choice to choose from whereas you the advertiser want to move your stuff asap (but for a few exceptions, do
expect to loose a bit of money – you may not have the time but the buyer does!).p y y y y )
Be willing to accept “offers” from buyers.
“Batch” your goods into obvious groupings, for example kitchen goods, computer bits, HiFi etc, plants and greenery etc.
