Let's discuss how we can incorporate these in our own businesses!

1. Take a small zip close baggie (snack sizes work well) and include the following in it: Your Business Card, a Piece of Candy such as hard candy or a lollipop, mini flyer of current host specials discount coupon (optional), a refrigerator magnet with your company information

This will work GREAT with my b&b products. I can put a small sample of soap or lip balm!

So many awesome ideas. It didn't even cross my mind to leave my cards/fliers in my school.

I need to take a closer look at all of the ideas. I'm pretty sure I can incorporate a couple into my marketing strategy.

Thank you

A marketing idea I hadn't thought of was to leave business cards in bathrooms. One year we were vendors at a big Christmas craft show. I guess one of my customers dropped one of my business card in the bathroom. Another person saw it and picked it up then went looking for my booth. Yes, she ended up making a purchase.

I know huh Marcia! @Lisa, that's a great idea!! I've even thought of those women who work in the bathroom at upscale restaurants and lounges providing sprays and lotions to the bathroom go-ers, lol. Maybe my products can be what they use!
