    Feet are in the water. I'm along for the ride now.

    I just bought close to $90 worth of advertising from Vistaprint. So I'm along for the ride now, I hope it all pays off in the long run. Bought postcards to ship to about 20 computer repair stores around me and 2 Large Lawn signs that I will put up in places around town. This is my first actual investment in to my little recycling business lol.

    I get my business cards from them and other advertising stuff. Get some business cards and hand them out to everybody you meet.

    Welcome to the big leagues buddy ! Just kidding about that, I've been fortunate enough that word of mouth has always got me more scrap than I can handle at a time! I do need to invest I biz cards tho, it makes you look more legit and makes it easy for potential customers to remember who you are and how to contact you.
