- Drive around looking for signs in need of repair, and visit the owner with business card in hand and EstiMate on your laptop.
- Right now, everybody is having sales. Take out a classified ad advertising banners to the local business community, as a “cross marketing” opportunity. When people call inquiring, explain that you are offering 5% off in exchange for having your name on the banner.
- Get creative with direct mail. Take the type of work that makes you the very best profit, and direct mail small target groups offering your services. A great example would be holiday window splashes (there’s a new holiday every couple of months).

Well.
After a day or so it was still empty and eventually she printed out all the specs of the car she wants and tacked it up on the board.
Damn. She beat me to it.
