Since moving to my new location, I have been going around to all of the local businesses around my cute little town for all of the different needs I have.
Since it was time to have my eyes checked, I went to a local place and had everything done. On the day that I picked up my new glasses, I asked the receptionist if I could bring in some treats the following week.
So I brought in lots of goodies on the Tuesday, and explained that I would pick up my things on Thurs. Of course I left catalogs and Order forms with instructions on what to do.
On the morning of Thursday, I called in before the office opened and left a voice mail concerning my return that afternoon and if they could just have things ready, that would be great.
When I picked things up, there were 2 orders, over 60 each for the free item. Yay! One of the persons who placed an order was the Dr. who did my eye exam, cool. When I dropped off her order yesterday, she said to me, that was a really great marketing idea - bringing the party to the office and letting them enjoy at their leisure.
Also, I got a call from another one of the drs. yesterday, she wanted to place her order and it was a very nice size order.
I really think what made this a success for me was that they already had my business before I asked for theirs. I really hope that I can try that again with another business and get the same results. VA
