Busy-ness

It has been a very busy week and a half that I haven't had time to hardly breathe let alone blog. There is a lot of time that goes into getting a business going. Last week, I spent the whole week trying to get a friend who has his own home improvement business and us ready for an expo that was held last Saturday.

Between the two companies, I designed and printed 2,ooo business cards, 500 post cards, and 1,00o brochures to hand out at the expo. We didn't have our own table but our friends generously offered to let us have a portion of their table.

Unfortunately, between the weather and people concentrating on home improvement, we didn't get much benefit from it. However, the lady at the table next to us was excited to find someone who knew technology and became our first customer which Bob will meet with her tomorrow. The positive was that our friends at New Creation Building Company did benefit from it and are getting many calls.

It was a good experience and gave us some ideas on how to set up an inviting table that will entice people to stop and check us out. I also recommend not trying to pull it together the week before it's scheduled if you like sleep.
