OT: Making It Work

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

 

Well, today I lost my job. I was part of 17000 laid off...gee, can you

guess where I worked? That's right...I was the office manager for WorldCom

in Madison. Anyway, I'm excited about the time off because I can dedicate

all of my time to my business now, and hopefully make a go of things.

 

I'm curious how the successful people out there got exposure. I'm going

to have a helluva lotta time on my hands now, and I don't want to take

advantage of it and just sit on my butt-I want to be out there getting my

business off the ground, but am overwhelmed at where to start. Any ideas

or suggestions?

 

TIA,

 

Kelley

Send a press release to your local paper announcing the " Grand Opening " of

your new shop, what types of things you will have to offer. Don't forget the

free papers that go around. They often charge very little to to put an ad in

their paper. And those 10% off coupons found in there are very popular, great

exposure. Put up leaflets up in your local libraries, Have friends and

family take some to work with them. Print up a bunch and assault all the

parked cars at the grocery stores. Put your business card in all your paid

bills. Talk talk talk about it at schools (if you pick up drop off kids),

dentist, doctors, church etc. Put a magnet placard on the side of your car to

advertise your business, put magnetic business cards next to the placard so

people can take one....

 

How's that for a start?

 

Cheers!
