Put flyers our around the neighborhood. Meet the new wives and talk about PC, do an Open House, and get out there. I loved WA when we lived there 10yrs ago and I'd go back in a heart beat! Wear your logo wear every where. I believe there is a training course about moving your business, its worth it to take. OHHH Get your director to find you a hospitality cluster. I know there are a few CS people in WA but not sure where exactly. Moving it can be done- I moved it from RI to CA!


Good luck- I'm moving my business in Oct/November from CA to Norfolk, VA!!

Force yourself to get out and meet people. Talk with small business owners. Find out what fairs there are in the area. Maybe there is something on base, it never hurts to ask. Do you have a hospitality director?

Get out and do the business of the month or make it week to introduce yourself. And Lucky you. I'm originally from WA and miss it terribly. Enjoy everything you can, there's lots to see and do and not to expensive once you get your bearings. ENJOY!! and good luck with the business.

There are actually a few Navy bases in the area. Bangor is the subbase Bremerton is the shipyard. They are combined in one name- Naval Station Kitsap. There is also WI, and Everett.

Sounds like you have some great ideas flowing from some experienced movers. Just remember to keep focused and be energetic as much as possible it will help.

Hi there! I completely understand how challenging it can be to move cross country, especially with a spouse in the military. It's great that you were able to qualify as a consultant, but I can imagine it's been difficult to get started with everything else going on.My best advice would be to start small and prioritize your tasks. Focus on unpacking and setting up your kitchen first, since that's where you'll be doing most of your cooking and meal prep. As you're unpacking, take note of any kitchen tools or appliances that you may need to replace or upgrade, and consider incorporating some of our products into your new kitchen.Once you have your kitchen set up, try hosting a small party with some of your new neighbors or friends. This will not only give you a chance to showcase some of our products, but it'll also help you get to know people in your new community.Don't be too hard on yourself if things don't pick up right away. Moving is a big adjustment, and it's important to take care of yourself and your family first. But when you're ready, we'll be here to support and guide you as you build your business. Best of luck to you!
