Crossroadsag (talk) 16:34, 2 June 2011 (UTC)I recently move my home based business in to a retail space in the community I live in. I have tried several methods of advertising my business, phone book, internet ads, newspaper ads, spending thousands of dollars and received little or no response for my money. My most effective advertising method is face to face in the parking lot of the shopping center where my business is located. While engaging in this form of advertising many times I am treated as less than human by many people who assume I am a salesman. I make it a point to greet every person that passes by with a big smile and a hearty "Hi how are you today" and several times a day I am either ignored, given a rude look, and many times just a hand saying NO. I am very frustrated by this. I have a very valuable service that I provide to our community. I teach people the tools they need to regain their health. We also host a 12 week weight loss challenge but our main focus is our clients health. I am still looking for an effective way to share these life saving tools with people who have given up hope and have decided that they will have to live in pain for the rest of their lives. They are miserable and I have an answer. I am confident that there is a method that will work and I will continue to reach out with love. I am also considering doing a 5 minute commercial at the next chamber of commerce meeting. Just saying those words frightens me but it frightens me more when the bills come and there is not enough to pay them. Has anyone else experienced what I am sharing?
