Fillers Needed for Upcoming Event

We are providing goody bags for an upcoming community event on Saturday, April 28, 2007. It is going to be the 2007 Sawmill Festival. We are going back to the last 1800’s to early 1900’s. I am so excited.

We are having hand crafted items, an old sawmill town built, pie eating contest, and so much more. I am looking for samples, brochures, business cards, pens, pencils, etc to go into a 4×6 ziplock bag.

We will only be including 1 per type of business in each bag, so we are asking for no more than 50 samples per company. We are expecting several thousand attendees, so we are putting together a few hundred bags.

Please mail your items to:

Women Business Owners
c/o Mom Pack Fillers
P.O. Box 55
Humble, Texas 77347

Online Advertising Suggestion- Become an Expert in Your Field

Dear WBO,
One way to get your name, company and product in front of potential customers without a hard sell, is to become an expert in your field.

Start writing informative articles about your business or industry and submit them to a content producer. A content producer is a website where other business owners can go and buy your articles for their newsletters and brochures.

While becoming known as an expert in your field, you are also getting exposure to a wide range of potential clients through your articles.

At the end of each article, you are allowed to add a brief bio and URL for your company, becoming an effective marketing tool.

If you’re a freelance writer looking for a great place to sell your articles, go to: Associated Content to submit your articles for consideration.

While you are there, you can check out my latest book review on “Alternative Paths Out of Serious Illness”. If you sign on, please do choose my name, Diane Tegarden, as the Content Producer who referred you!

Energetically Yours,
Diane Tegarden
