You are just the marketing queen. I would love to see it. It may help me with ideas to keep me from going crazy and not closing my doors. I am toying with finding a space to rent like you. All this overhead is killing us. I put an ad in craigslist to booth rent no luck so far. I need someone with a clientele so they can pay their rent to me. Argggh.

We have a poster my graphics lady made (printed at kinkos for $46 and a poster frame for $20) and we have it in the salon to advertise to all the clients. My lady also made us the cutest gift certificates. (printed at kinkos 50/$26) We talked about it to each of our clients for 2 weeks prior so we sold some to them and a few from the poster. if any of yall want a pdf copy of the poster or the gcertificate...you can print out and re copy. I do have a mailing list and I will be sending it in my newsletter! On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 7:12 PM, Maggie in Visalia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Awesome!
