Default Hey Steve....Here's one for YOU

When the car business was going good....I was providing Car Dealers with "Fridge Magnets" they gave to their car buyers as a Gift. They'd take a picture of the Car Buyers at time of Delivery....send the photos to me and I'd make up a Fridge Magnet that had the Dealer's Name & Contact Info at the top....the Car Buyer's Photo....then a Calendar-at-a-Glance on the bottom half with the starting month, the month the Magnet was made.

I made some GREAT money with this (I won't say how much to save the "Skeptics" time in responding)....and.....with this in mind....here's how I started ANOTHER "Money-Maker";

I walked into a Pet Groomer's storefront, planning on selling the owner an Ad on my "Pizza Box Flyer". As I was waiting for her to finish grooming the doggy she was working on....I got one of my "Hot Flashes".

She was working on a magnificent WHITE POODLE. This animal was BEEYOUTEEFULL....and....spotless. The cleanest it will ever be.

As the animal was standing on the table.....I thought, "I MUST take a picuture of this animal!" So....I ran and got my digital camera in my car. Came back and asked the groomer if I could snap a photo.

She agreed. I told her I had a promotion idea for her business and would like to come back later and show it to her.

So...I went back to my office.....cranked up MSPub.....made a Frame with a Year-At-A-Glance Calendar....printed it out on my Inkjet on the Magnetic Paper.....and whala.....a BEAUTIFUL Fridge Magnet the dog owner would GLADLY place on their Fridge (for ALL who enter the Kitchen, to see)

When I showed this to the Pet Groomer....she was taken aback and could hardly believe what she was looking at.

I told her I'd make up the Fridge Magnets for X$ with HER Business Name, the pet photo and a Year-At-A-Glance Calendar with the first month being the month the Calendar was produced.

She agreed....so....I now have a number of Pet Groomers emailing me photos of their pet owner's pets.....we make up the Magnets and mail them out.

(I keep my Graphics Girl busy)

So....once again....by "being OUT in the public"....where people are earning their livings....I was able to come up with yet another GOOD MONEY-MAKER.

Steve....because you're a photographer....I thought you might like to see this. Actually....it's the Pet Groomers who are the "Photographers". I show them how to take the photos and email to me.

I won't give out any more details....because I'm NOT "Selling the Program". It's JUST a "Money-Making IDEA" I came up with that someone can do some research on ....make up a Sample and go out and SELL it.

I've attached a photo.
