Are you looking for new ways to promote your business? Here's an idea, partner with others.
This can be a very successful way to promote whether you have an on-line business or one that is off-line. Take a look around your neighborhoods at the brick and mortar businesses. How can you partner with them? There are ways even if you are a strictly on-line business. I recently went to merchant "Block Party" Several businesses in a strip mall decided to do something different for the grand opening. Rather than each merchant putting up a grand opening sign they all pooled their resources and had a shopping center grand opening. You can do the same thing. Find a brick and mortar business that you can partner with and build a relationship. Than brainstorm promotional ideas together. That brick and mortar business probably knows others they can partner with. Once you come up with the ideas and you have businesses willing to work together get in there and get your hands dirty. Put in the work to help make it a success. Why would you do that? The relationships you build. If you help them to make the event a success, it will be remembered. Not only that, your name will begin to pop up in conversations and that means calls and exposure for you. Forget the box exists. Look for new novel ways to promote yourself and your business will follow. get protected before it happens to you |

| Now here's an idea that I'm working. Right now we have to back to school season upon us. Back to school includes college students who will me away from home and on their own for the first time in most of their lives. I have been working to bring together my church, a financial planner, a credit counselor and myself to do a "seminar" for these college freshmen. They need to understand what they are facing as adults, they need to know the importance of their credit and credit score, they need to understand money management and they need to know how to protect themselves so it fits for all of the businesses involved. So why did I approach my pastor with this? Churches tend to be very involved in the community doing outreach and other ministries. So having the Church sponsor this gives them another area for outreach to the youth. Remember when partnering with others, it does not necessarily have to be another BUSINESS, Non-profits and other organizations can benefit from joint projects too! get protected before it happens to you  Group Administrator

| I figure that by volunteering my time and everyone gets a business card to contact me, I'm getting out into the community and being high-profile. That counts for a lot.

| Oooh Cheryl OMG 2nd cup of mud here and nnow coming to life.
What you state is so very true. You have gotten my wheels (my poor pea brain) turning so fast I can't keep up. What an awesome idea Now get it to work. Food for thought. I have been posting fliers, business cards (anywhere that had bulletin board) without much luck but I think I have to delve a bit deeper. Nuff now I am on information overload already LOL Wendy "Global Wide" "Business-in-a-Box" |

| I am all for reminding people that Compatable Advertising and Ad Co-op offers can often save money and increase profitabilty for everyone involved... Whether they are Offline Or Online...
SBD's Digital Camera Bucks Program is such a great example of this, that I hope you don't mind me mentioning it here for demonstrative purposes... Wherever you go or almost whatever you daily in the Brick and Mortar world, if you have a digital camera, you can promote yourself as well as the businesses that you visit... Whether it's that hairdresser, supermarket, lunch counter... If you can take a good image, obtain a business card or other informational document for the place(s) that you visit, and send them in to SBD... you'll earn a commission... The business gets listed on SBD's Local Search ( A Web Presence At No Cost) and you will start to build your reputation amongst the businesses that you frequent-- This is a very sweet deal... And you don't even have to try to sell them anything... The Professionals at SBD corporate can handle that end of the business for you. WIN Network Seminars- Your Chance To Win! |

| I'm actually taking advantage of this as we speak. I'm helping a small performing arts school put together a fundraiser. As a result of my working relationship, I got called to go to a vendor fair well I should say I was commanded to appear since it was "We are holding a table for you in the high traffic area on _____date. Please be at __________by 9am to register" And Yes I took full advantage of it LOL!. get protected before it happens to you Group Administrator

| Love that Cheryl..forget the box exists..lol.
So true...thinking outside of the box is a PLUS! I recently had been thinking along those lines too. Why just work with online, when there is a huge opportunity off line as well, with all most all opportunites. BIG Crumbs |
