Recently I posted on writing a press release to get some coverage for your business in your local newspaper. Now it hit me last night that we’ve got one of the biggest days of the year coming up… Mother’s Day!
So for all you business owners, booth renters why not come up with a few specials to pamper the Moms in your neighborhood. It’s good publicity if you use the press release idea I gave you. It’s good networking if you work with your near by salon or barbershop. You see barbershops get the boys while Moms goes to get pampered at the salon. Free babysitting sounds like a great idea, don’t you think. Now it’s not really free babysitting if you get a few heads in the seats… right.
It will require some creativity on your part but you get the idea… just promote the hell out of it, and get the newspaper reporters out there for photo shoot of the event. It’s a fantastic way to get some community awareness, and it shows your heart is in the right place. You might just get a few new clients!

That is a true statement for all businesses including yours. If you just renting a booth, or own the barbershop or salon, then referrals are key to growth. A referral is a compliment to your business by a satisfied customer.
So ask yourself how many referrals you had last week, last month and if you find that it wasn’t consistent then you have some work to do!
