his/her class to take home to mommy and daddy (or to each teacher)

anyway - make it a VERY SPECIAL one!

41. Replying to spam email with MOMTEAM mail.

42. Give your business cards to friends and family and ask them to give them out to

people they know that might be interested. But turn your business card over and put

their name on it and say if someone asks for more info and shows you that card they

can get a free sample. Once they try the gold bar, solumel, etc they will be sold on the

products and they might enroll as a customer or you can put on the back of the

business card that if you show this card you will receive a free trial size product and

free info

51. My husband and I own a Tractor Trailer (18 wheeler Rig) that travels all over the USA.

We have a sign company preparing a MOM Team AD for the back of the trailer right

now. If anyone knows any Owner Operators, they could approach them to ask how

much they would charge for advertising on their trailer!

52. My husband keeps a supply of my business cards with him at all times. Whenever he

stops at a truck stop he will hand them to waitresses with their tip.

53. I keep a supply of brochures in my car and each weekend when I take my girls to their

soccer games, we spend some time placing MOM Team brochures on car windows.

54. I really like the idea of purchasing cheap seed packets (WAL-MART for $.10/each) and

putting a cute tag on them with my pertinent info on it as well as a saying such as

"I'm in the business of helping people grow". I will be using this idea during our

Community Days parade.

55. Another one I'm in the process of pulling together is using baby food jars, filling them

with two uses of Mela-Power, Mela-Soft, and Mela-Brite, wrapping them with a cute

label and handing them out to interested people at our booth this summer in a small

paper bag basket. Of course, they will fall in love with the products and have to call

me back to find out how to get more!!!

56. Business cards with a magnetic back really "stick" in people's minds as well as on their

refrigerator!

57. I have a magnet on the back of my car that actually has gotten me lots of questions

and hits to my website as my URL is on the magnet. Also I have SHALI Team

brochures that are about the size of a legal envelope that I hand out to moms or

others instead of just a business card...gives them just a little more information.

58. I also try to call all the malls and hospitals in my area to see when they are having a

baby expo...when they are I go and walk around and pass out my business cards and/

or brochures.

59. putting your URL on your placemat at the restaurant

61. having catalogs in your vehicle when you are at ball practice with your kids, so that

you can be looking at "your " order at that moment

62. baby shower gifts

63. My absolute favorite offline ad idea is that each month when I send out my bills, I

insert one of my business cards into the envelope. It is so easy to do this and I have

generated leads each month consistently! Of course I have also posted a flyer on the

community board at my local Wal-Mart, in addition to leaving a few business cards in

the kids' section around the diapers and formula. I have even been to the library with
