"We Send out Free Cup Cakes to Get Bakeries to Sell our Baked goods. And to Refer Us Catering Business."

We don't Spend Money on Advertising.

Hi Glenn,

You've reminded me...

When I was helping my friend who owned a restaurant, he was often getting offers from others who wanted him to sell their (often baked) goods in his restaurant...

He'd try some out, I think... To see if his customers liked them...

The (perhaps surprising) point is, other restaurants are not necessarily your competition... They can be your partners, too...

One other thing is, my friend essentially sold no desserts!

(In his culture, they didn't usually eat dessert after a meal...)

I strongly recommended that he add desserts to the menu! It would mean he would make a few extra bucks on top of every meal...

Even if it was just a bowl of ice cream... His only extra work would be scooping out the ice cream!

But... he never did so... (Easy money left on the table!)

Best wishes,

Dien
