If you are affiliated with 2 DS companies, can you promote both on your car (i.e., window stickers with contact information). I am not a director for either of these businesses. Just wondering how one would handle that...:confused:
 
Sure. It might make people question how seriously you take both of them, though. I think it would reinforce the "She only does this as a hobby" perception.

Hmmm...never quite thought about it that way before. I enjoy each company and am just looking for the most beneficial way to get the most out of each.:)
 
Maybe on decal on each side of the car? That way most people would not see both at once?
 
I understand. I'd want to get all the goodies/benefits from both, too.

I have found that allot of people I encounter take this (me doing PC and the other company I am involved with) as a hobby. Its not. I do not work at an office, I work at this! I have chosen this to be my path in life and I love every minute of it. This allows me to be a good mom to my kids on a "Full Time" basis, I earn my own spending $$ and have some to "donate" to the essential causes around my house (bills, ugh...). I work very hard at both and am proud of what I do.

I may do what was suggested and place a decal on either side of my rear window. I put in equal amounts of effort into each business and am successful at both, Why not let the world (er, at least my community...until I TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!:D ...ummmm, that was a bit much, huh?...LOL) see what I am capeable of!!

Thanks you guys, your the best!!:p

OK, that made me think of Pinky and the Brain, the cartoon from the 90s.
Pinky: What are we going to do tonight, Brain.
Brain: Same thing we do every night, Pinky, try to take over the world!

:cool:
 
IMO it is like people that have 2 "mainstream" jobs. Most of my life I have held down more than 1 job at a time PLUS being a wife and a mother. All of which I take very seriously. There is a large percentage of population that HAVE to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Do people ever question their motives? I don't see any problem myself with advertising both. Go for it!
