Welcome Aboard!!! The local media attention is what definently gets inquirers in the door, in Detroit we had over 1700 phone calls after the 2 major newspapers wrote articles on our program in May of this year. We also had write ups in 2 smaller newspapers and a segment on a radio show. Just make sure you are ready to handle the large response, our phones rang constantly. The challenge is to find eligible applicants out of all of the inquiries.
We have also done presentations at the local libraries, the public schools and offered free workshops on Home Buying and Car Ownership. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Hansen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 9:06 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [WTW] Marketing > > Howdy, > > We are new to the Ways to Work program here in Jacksonville, Florida. > Right > now business is slow.
