I've seen this mentioned and I think I get it but how, exactly, do you go about it? Do you contact businesses first? Which businesses make good businesses to pamper? What's your master plan when it comes to this because with December as barren as it's shaping up to be and it being a nice time of year to do something like this anyway, I was just wondering how to go about this. Do you pamper more than on business at a time? Do you make a show out of this if you get sales? What are the goals that you have in mind when you pamper a business? Any info or people's experiences would be great!
 
I would love ideas for this too!!

Also, I am attaching a flyer that I printed out. I put it inside one of those clear plexiglass frames so it would stand up on a table...I told my "contact" just to set it up in the break room, along with my catties. I slipped an outside order form (showed guest special for the month) inside each catalog.

Good luck...my only other suggestion would be to talk to your contact and get THEM excited about getting orders, tell them they will become your host if you collect $150 in orders!

Ok, I don't know how to attach a file from our files section to my post. But, you can do a search for office in files and it will come up.
 
I work full time during the day. Do you think that there's still time to pamper a business and get sales before Christmas? I was thinking about putting together a flyer with gift set ideas and taking it into a business.
 
Sure there's time! Are you able to contact some on your lunch break (to get permission) and then drop it off on your way to work?
 
I'd probably have to contact on my lunch break and then drop off on my lunch break because I work 7:00 - 6:00. I think I'll work on some flyers tonight. I really want to get some more sales for December.
