advertising

When you start up a new company it is important to get the word out there that you exist. Advertising comes in various forms. One of those vehicles is a local magazine called Market Place. You can write your own add or they will write it for you. Melissa opted to write the article for us. I think she did a pretty good job. See what you think...

Earlier this year I bought a ticket for Cash for Cancer. Lo and behold I won a golf bag! Thing is, I don't golf anymore. I thought about filling the bottom of the golf bag with rocks and sticking a plant in the top, a rather unique planter. I then decided to find out about any fundraising in the community so I could donate the golf bag to raise some money for a worthy cause.

While in Kincardine this morning I dropped into the local radio station, The Coast FM to set up a time to me to go on the radio to talk about the Garden Party our church in having the 17th of this month. I found out that there is some fundraising going on for the Special Olympics. What a great cause! So I have found a home for my golf bag! And on top of that, as soon as I mentioned that Melissa and I started a new business, I was told we can talk about it on the radio next Friday! Free advertising! Excellent!! The golf bag will be donated by M&L Ideas & Co.

It just goes to prove, when you give to the community, something good always comes back your way.
