    Offline Advertising Tips

    Since most of us are always online and our business is online, we often forget the importance of advertising our business offline. Print advertising can be one of the best forms of advertising for your buck. Why? Well, with print advertising it's in the form of hard copy and is always in view of your potential customers. Thats just one small example. Think about your daily newspaper...try hiding that in your email box! The following are just a few hints and ideas for you to consider before you place an offline advertising campaign.

    Everybody Else's Mom

    It seems my eleven-year-old daughter has a new friend. Although I haven't met her, I've heard a lot about her. Apparently she's the same age, height, and build as my daughter, but with bright blue hair, multiple body piercing, and a henna snake tattoo. She wears things like sliced up jeans and suede halter-tops to school. On top of that, she's allowed to stay up as late as she wants to, play inappropriate video games, and watch B horror movies. She never has to clean her room and keeps all fifty pair of her trendy low cut jeans in a pile stuffed underneath her bed.

    Banana Boats

    we use this recipe when we go camping, but its good on the grill at cookouts too!

    What you need:

    Bananas
    Chocolate chips
    Mini marshmallows
    Tinfoil

    cut a banana in half - DO NOT PEEL IT! make a slice down the length of the banana and fill the crevice with chocolate chips and marshmallows. roll the banana in tinfoil and close the ends. cook over hot coals until the banana is 'squishy'. remove from heat and enjoy!
