An Alphabet of Ideas

Here are a few ideas to help get you going with your biz!

A - Approach apartment managers and see if you can post a flyer on the community bulletin boards. You can also see if he/she would be interested in using your product as a "welcome to our complex" gift.

B - Bake sales. Moms hate bake sales. Approach any bake sale coordinators and give them info about doing a fundraiser (after buying some cupcakes, of course!)

C - Hang a sign in/on your car. Make sure you have your PHONE NUMBER on it. (Don't make people have to chase you down to contact you - they won't.)

D - Order pizza, Chinese food, or some other food and give a sample and info to the delivery person.

E - Find a holiday event and get a booth!

F - Call 4 organizations today from the phone book and ask if they want fundraiser info.

G - Go to a garage sale and give a sample and info the the homeowner having it.

H - For Halloween, give candy for the kids and samples for the moms.

I - Invite another consultant (from a different company) to have a home show with you. You both invite your own people, and both of you make new contacts!

J - Look at your junk mail - is there any local advertiser you would like to partner with for a joint venture?
