Golf

Well I was supposed to play in the Zelienople/Harmony Chamber of Commerce golf outing today but it was cancelled because the Heavens opened up and rained big-time! So if I can't play golf I might as well talk golf.

I suggest keeping some items on hand that have your company name on them to donate as door prizes at golf outings and other events as well. You get recognition in the program and visually at the event. Also, it is a good idea to watch who wins the door prize and that gives you the opportunity to introduce yourself to the winner after the event is over.

Some of the more traditional golf items are umbrellas, hats & visors, golf balls, tees, shoe bags, ditty bags with a clip, towels, ball mark repair tools, first aid kits, and wearables like polos/wind shirts/sweatshirts.

Risk

Business has been picking up which is a great sign. I think the "You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first" quote applies perfectly now for those people that are contemplating how to grow and market thier business.

"Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what your're doing but nobody else does"
