I am still a relatively new consultant, and recently ran across a thread mentioning the realtor flyer, with gift ideas. I loved that idea, and have already hit about 10 realtors in the area, and plan on going to more. I love leaving my catalog and information so they can buy things if they want, and also getting my name out there as a consultant. Does anyone else have any brilliant suggestions for something like that?
 
get a contact name----see if they are willing to collect up all the orders and you will be back on ____day---they can have there order a a discount--if they collect____

Thank you, but I am really looking for other places to take info, to get more contacts, something other than the realty places

Bump! :-)
 
You can take your info, catalogs to local hair salons, banks, coffee shops, doctor's offices, day care centers, post office, etc.
Sometimes I will bring in a recipe and introduce myself and leave catalogs and info.
Good luck, I hope this helped.

Krissy, how do you present it? Just as a new consultant getting your name out? I know some businesses are sensitive about advertising at businesses, and that's why I liked the real estate thing, because it's advertising, but it is directly related to their business. Opinions, anyone?

Anybody have any input as to how businesses receive someone coming in off the street to leave an advertisement like that? i don't want to irritate the people I am trying to attract.
