First Impressions
So. How'd you like a captive audience of dozens, even hundreds of potential customers, people who are in a good mood, people who are chatting away... maybe about your shop, if you plan well.

What's this gonna cost you? It's up to you. It's the miracle of gift certificates that you donate as raffle or door prizes to your local clubs, charity events, and fund-raisers. The key to getting word-of-mouth is the proper presentation!

To make the right first impression to these folks, and to get them talking about you, it'll take a little "stage craft." Read all about Kate's experiences with this in the latest addition to Kate's Busy Brain.
