Last week our newspaper came and took pictures and interviewed me and a bridal client of mine for a feature article and it ran on Monday. So far, great reaction. I've have 4-5 inquires by email regarding weddings. I am soo greateful for the wonderful article. I really want to do a lot of weddings, so I'm hoping this will be a great start! If you would like to look at it, let me know what you think! It's in the Waterloo Courier (Iowa), Monday, August 13, 2007, regional news.
Maybe this link will work.

brownsugarfemme- I spoke to our county
economic development director and told hime I was interested in an article. Also, a great place to start is your local SCORE organization. I forget what it stands for but it is voluntary retired executives, and our local college has a regional business center and they are a great resource (FREE) I have another meeting with them monday to brainstorm some low cost marketing. But I'm sure if you call your local paper and let them know about you, they just might come on out!

I know you have a bunch of copies of the article, but have you arranged to have it professionally framed yet? Hang it in a prominent place for clients to see. They'd be very impressed to work with you. Ca ching!
