    Advertising idea with schools

    Just thought about another advertising idea that would work as well. I am buying items for this tomorrow as I just remembered. Call or go to Elementary/Middle schools and talk to the principals in your local area. Ask them if you could supply each student with a "gift bag" of pencils, small box of crayons, erasers, colored pencils, stickers or whatever they could use in the classroom. Use the small paper lunch bags and staple a business card to it and put a neatly folded flier in the bag with all the goodies for each student.

    Most shools require an approval from the superintendant before anything is allowed to be given out to the students.

    Why not, Pepsi and Coke fight over space to have exclusive rights to install their brand of pop machine, and let us not forget the holey Mac computer who made it a point of donating thousand of their brand into the schools.

    Let us brain wash the little tykes some more.

    Remember to talk deal only to the person who can say yes not the 2 dozen or so who only have the authority to say no or I WILL TALK TO MR/MRS SO AND SO AND CALL YOU.(do not sit by the phone waiting for this call, it ain't comin).The person you just talked to has no vested interest Only you and the person who can say yes does.

    Go straight to the Superintendent or the school board meeting (I'd start with the Superintendent). I can't say whether they'll say yes or no, but if they say no, they may have some other ways to work with you....
