What would you do?
 

Here's the scenerio...you have use of a retail store space in a decent location (tourist town, fair amount of traffic) until next March. You DO NOT want to SELL physical products because that opens up sales tax issues, hiring issues, etc, etc.

You want to use this visible physical location as a MARKETING tool ONLY - free flyers, free cd-roms, free maps, who knows...maybe you charge other businesses to display their flyers, etc.

Would you use it as a physical face for a local business portal site? Would you give away free coffee and doughnuts with ads on the coffee cups?(tip of the hat here to Don Alm ;-)

What would you do?

Thanks!!

Go to a second hand shop (or rent) a lot of cheap chairs. Put ads out for different topic seminars you will hold 5 days a week.

You decide what you are an expert on. Also if people in the area have merchandise and are experts in their fields invite them for their own seminars and you take a 20% on all their sales.

Tell me what you think and I will help you.

Seminars and classes are definitely what I was thinking...I teach various classes locally on internet business and marketing and I'm wondering what I might teach that compliments rather than competes with what I already offer...I'm leaning towards using it as a location for a series of FREE internet marketing seminars as a promotional tool for either my 'paid' classes or other backend products and services...

Thanks again for your reply, have a great weekend!
