Default What some entrepreneurs will do for publicity.... :)

Hi Julie! :)

I loved your story! Thank you for sharing it.... :)

Your approach was clearly very wise and definitely got results!

Your story reminds me of something I read too.... Another story about getting attention -- though this time the attention of the public.

The British entrepreneur Richard Branson is a master of promotion on a budget....

His Virgin group of companies nowadays span almost anything you can think of -- music, finance, airlines, publishing, trains, and the list goes on and on.... It's estimated that the Virgin group comprises of over 200 companies in all.

Including "Virgin Brides!" -- clothing for brides....

To get the public's attention, Richard Branson had a grand opening of "Virgin Brides." He invited all the newspapers to come along for the opening....

And when the doors of Virgin Brides opened, a blushing bride emerged....
