Question About How You Get Your Name Out There?

[chefchelsea]

I bought a whole bunch of cheap cardboard box drawing slip boxes, and want to put them in various businesses that will let me near the house. What do you think I should have the prize be, free cooking show and just let everyone have that option, or actually have a prize too-like gift certificate or $15 value gift?
Let me know what you all think. And what businesses usually don't have a problem with you putting these in their stores? I have no clue in this field or advertising.

If it were me I would do something for May and do a drawing where everyone wins a free cooking show and do a seperate drawing where everyone gets a ticket for each HWC item purchased and give a $15 value gift for that drawing. That way you get your name out there and get some orders too!

Edited to add....ask every business that is near your house. The worst you will hear is "No" and that's okay!

A lot of places that I have had good experiences are geared towards women. Ask the people at Curves and do a drawing for the It's Good For You cookbook. Give away a $25 gift certificate at a salon. Usually women work at women's places and will be more willing to let you put a box there. Good luck!Gillian Wright

Thanks for the ideasI will def. do free cooking show on every box, and then add something else along with it, I like those ideas. I just have to brainstorm a flyer. O, and the place I ordered them was from http://www.displays2go.com
Hope that link works, if not, just copy and paste into your browser. Look for the cheap cardboard boxes.

Question: what's a FREE cooking show? I don't get it. Do you normally charge to do a show?

Free cooking show means that you will buy the things needed for the show.
