Direct mail marketing

It's tough these days to start a new business. Door to door sales is a tough market and people can get really offended even if you knock on their door. So to get our contracting business name around a little faster we decided to use direct mail marketing. The response wasn't too bad. For every hundred dollars we spent we took back in five times that. We were very specific on what neighborhoods our sales were targeted at. It works great.

Hidden security camera

We were a little bit worry about leaving the house as we went on vacation for two weeks. We've never had any problems in out neighborhood but you just never know these days. So with little money we've spend my husband went out and bought a camera that plugs in next to our doorway. When anybody crosses the camera's path it automatically takes a picture. It also puts a time and date stamp on the picture. So at least we'll know who's come around our front door while we were gone.
