Second, grass roots marketing - send out a couple of cute girls to work sites with free samples (I know this sounds sexist - but I`ve seen lots of examples of this working)


It`s funny you should mention that, I thought of it too. I was talking to the owner of a large truck rental business the other day and he said his competition has begun using a cute blonde model in their ads - and it`s working. I guess I have a lot to learn about techniques in advertising. *L*

Hello,

I have to say I love the packaging and your product sounds like it`s going to do great!  I think you`ve found a great niche and it`s really going to sell like hot cakes.  Have you considered small-time hardware stores in mining towns, etc?  I`m specifically thinking about areas of Wyoming, Montana where the elements really kick you in the rear and everyone for miles around works in the coal mines.  There are smaller regional chains akin to Ace Hardware that I think might be easier to get into than the mega-stores.  Good luck, can`t wait to see you make it big

It is nice to see that we are headed in the right direction. We already have a
women`s uniform being made by a seamstress that is tasteful but flattering
and we plan to bring a couple of girls and possibly a guy to the events. I
have to say, all of your comments are just making me more excited about
getting this product out there.

Thank you for all of your thoughts!

 I do agree. I also observed the same thing with other auto/truck rental business. I don't know but when it comes to cars, cute girls are already associated with it.
