I have tomorrow afternoon off from work and I want to do something to try to boost bookings or sales. I wondered what you all think would be a better strategy....going to realty offices to try to get them to purchase thank you gifts for clients or offering to pamper a business. Or do I do both? And what words do you use when you make these offers? Thanks in advance?

bumping. Please, I'd really like to get some ideas. Thanks!
 
It's easy to pamper a business if you know someone there, (Would you like to sample a new recipe I have for brownies?) but I wouldn't know what to say if I didn't know anyone.

I was thinking that too. So how do I approach realtors that I don't know? I'm already talking with the one realtor that I know in town....she's looking over the ideas that I gave her.
 
I've often thought about asking realtors about buying for their clients. let me know how this works out. Maybe I'll get over my fraidycatness and ask them sometime.
 
Here is an idea that may help... Do you have a Jr. League in your area? (If you are not sure, check AJLI Home Page to see if there is a chapter in the biggest city near you).
Jr.Leagues are all known for their fabulous COOKBOOKS. And, they are always in-the-know about events and goings on in the area. Why not partner up with their Cookbook committee for the next event?
My workplace does a craft fair on-site every November. Since I'm in League, I knew our Cookbook gals and invited them to have a table next to mine. We really cross-sold each other... and shared a lot of contact information.

Just an idea!

would you mind sharing the ideas that you gave her? if i too get over my "shyness" I want to ask local businesses but am not sure of exactly what to offer.
 
I go tin with my doctor's office by setting up an appointment to talk with him directly. He scheduled the time out for me and treated me like a professional, selling him pharmacueticals. I've yet to see a show out of it (a year later), but I sure have gotten lots of calls for recipes and orders, just by asking my doctor to schedule a time out, where I can talk to him about promoing my biz in his private office. I drop by once a month with a different recipe (something small) and everyone looks forward to me showing up now.

Hope this helps someone....
