Someone had a good thread going about 150 places to find new business.
Now that you have all of those places to go to, what are you going to say or do to advertise your business? Here's a couple of my ideas.
1. Keep fundraiser information in your vehicle to give to any organization in front of Walmart trying to raise money.
2. At a Veterinary office, ask if they know of any animal shelters needing a fundraiser. Have a few mini catalogues in your hand.
3. I leave my business cards where ever I can. I've had 2 shows from leaving them where contractors advertise at the hardware store. I've had a nice order over $100 from leaving my cards near the register at a restaurant.
4. I look for engagement rings anywhere that young ladies work. I compliment them on their ring and their engagement and ask if they need a registry.

Anybody else want to share some ideas?
 
I will be doing this againg tomorrow, when I go shopping at the mall- I always have a large PC bag in my car (the ones HO sends us to put customer's product in. As I shop int he amll, someone always stops me, and asks me where the Pampered Chef store is- Of course, I respond "RIGHT HERE!!!! as I whip out my info file.
 
I love the engagement ring idea!
 
I love the PC bag idea. I'd like to see them come out with a PC bag like all the grocery stores are using.
