Re: promotional ideas??
Many school districts have a central office where you submit an application to be one of their approved vendors. Take one of those leftover shirts with a cool school sentiment/logo and your log in with you when you go to apply.
The applications generally ask you to demonstrate that you are a business, and what your offerings are. The nice thing is - orders over a certain $$ amount often have to submit their potential order to every single approved vendor for a quote.
In the schools there are also parent groups or individual clubs that have the rights to order from whonever they wish. Pick a very small overlooked club ( chess club?) and make up donations for their club with your name displayed and contact info. Also take in a receipt with the full retail price and at the bottom in huge letters, no charge. They will send this receipt to be processed giving more exposure. Make sure the owner signs the receipt to give him positive PR and a personal touch.We have gotten orders the same day we have distributed these kinds of gifts, and encouraged the students at the same time. Win win.
