I live in a area with only a couple of consultants and I went to a July 4th parade and thought I could do that. I was thinking seeing if the others would help me with it, there is one in September in a close by town. If not there is a fair after. But I was thinking of buying bulk candy and having my girls hand out business cards down the route and plus I could round up old brouchures for anyone wanting to get rid of them. What do you guys think?
 
Sounds kinda neat. Not sure if we can do it or not. Don't see why it would be any different than setting up a booth somewhere.
 
In that aspect, you are like any other business as far as I can tell. Candy and cards are great, but make sure you know the local parade rules and/or ordinances. Many require permits on file with the local Police Dept. to distribute.If you are still questioning, call HO and ask...
 
I have done our neighborhood 4th of July one and every year do our homecoming parade I give out a baggie with a coupon, bus, card and a few pieces of candy
 
Teresa - have you gotten any shows/orders from the stuff you handed out at the parade?
