Ok, here is a summary:
The original blog :New Marketing Idea.... Sponsor some one else's cards had an idea to sponsor those little business card size reminders you get at the dentist, doctor, salon, etc. negotiate with the owner to pay for the cards in exchange they put a line like "this reminder sponsored by..."
So last time I got my hair cut I mentioned it to the lady who cuts my hair (also the owner, and the same place I have gotten my hair cut at since I was 10) She loved the idea and made a funny comment about how she can't believe her husband, an insurance agent, didn't think of it.
The Snag: She orders those reminder cards by the CASE, she gives out around 30 a day, and she has enough to last her for at least 6 months or more.
The Triumph: She is creating a "menu" to have all the other service they are starting at the salon (masage, waxing, make-up, etc.) She offered for me to have my info on that. We even thought of a great tag line, "sponsored by Brian Papaccio of Wells Fargo, customer since 1987"
The Dentist: It is a big office I have yet to hear back from an owner, or person incharge of marketing, or person who orders the cards. my next appointment isn't for a couple months.
