I have the opp to place a half page (about 1/4 size of regular piece of paper) ad in a school's directory. They said I could use my business card, but I want to place "something/blurb" underneath that since there is room.

What should I say???
 
You can download an ad that size from the ad generator at Merrill. They have a couple different ones, including theme shows, and recruiting.
 
I was advised to make a coupon out of the ad so it would be more tempting to contact you.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on the opportunity to place an ad in the school directory! This is a great way to promote your business to the school community. My suggestion would be to use a catchy tagline or a brief description of your business underneath your business card. For example, "Bringing delicious and easy meal solutions to your kitchen!" or "Transforming your cooking experience with top-quality kitchen tools." This will give readers a quick and memorable idea of what your business is all about. Best of luck with your ad placement!
