Week #6

This week brought some fun and some challenges as it was the first week of business. My husband and I started by designing some flyers for our service. We then called around different businesses in the area to receive permission to not only pas out the flyers, but to also promote the service. I was surprised that nearly every single place allowed us to promote our business. We started our first round of passing out flyers and noticed an error. We forgot to include that all proceeds were being donated to an entrepreneur in South America that needed help with his show business. We wanted to make it clear that we were not starting this business for our own financial gain. We also wanted to encourage those who did not care for the service, but wanted to donate so they had an option. We went back and fixed the error and continued to pass out flyer after flyer. The response we received was very positive and encouraging. As we walked around and visited different places, we were congratulated and given advice for additional places in the area to visit. We made sure that we were friendly and that we showed we love our customers and their business. We made $10.00 from people who offered us cash on the spot just as a donation for the great work we were doing.  This has been so much fun and I am enthusiastic as our business continues to grow.
