Starting Your Own Business ? Hints & Tips Entrepreneurial Advice Suzie's Blogs ...

Marketing Your Business * Contests ! 1. CONTESTS. As one example, a cookware store decided to sponsor cooking contests. After sending out a press release announcing a competition for the best cookie or chocolate cake, a mailing went out to the store+s customers soliciting en- tries. Food editors, professional chefs and cooking teachers were invited to be judges. Both the winners and the winning recipes were publicized. Essay and design contests are also possibilities, such as a furniture store establishing a prize for student furniture design. Pie eating, pancake flipping, oyster shucking and grape stomping contests make sense for restaurants. Dentists ( for example ) can hold smile contests, while video rental stores can stage movie trivia quizzes. I hope you've enjoyed my blog so far. Have yourselves a wonderful day!
