Gran opening, how long is to long to do this? - tanTALK

sockitome · 01-19-2006, 09:46 AM

I opened on 10/01/2005, was just wondering if it was to late to do this or not? Was going to look at the Chamber of Commerce doing a ribbon cutting and maybe combing them, also what all can you do besides radio to promote these. They want ridiculous amounts of money for this. Any ideas???

Thank you

I think that one of the chpeapest and effiecent ways of promoting (depending on where you are) is to make fliers - www.clubfliers.com and have two of your most outgoing employess go to clubs, and local buisnesses and have them hand out fliers and tlak to people on the street

It is normal to have your Grand Opening a few months after you have actually been open. So now would a perfect time to have it. Direct Mail has by far been the most effective for us. It's not cheap, but it has worked every time for us. Of course, when you mail, and what you mail plays a big factor as well.

I did the same thing as Cayenne. I put *GRAND OPENING* on ALL my advertisements, but I only did it for about 4 months.
