Hi Sir T and everyone,
I think you have some great pointers. I have had good luck with flyers. I 
have sent them to schools too. I have also talked with after school programs 
about offering a class to children to teach them twisting. Kids are good at 
twisting and have a lot of imagination. The parents love it and it got me 
work at older children's parties. 
I have gotten together with an other twister to have coffee and jam and boy 
does it attract attention. People are amazed at what can be made from 
balloons. I have given out lots of business cards that way. 
Last night at the jam, I talked to customers that were in AHHHH of what we 
were doing. I did give out some cards there too. 
You don't have to have a jam to do this.....like Sir T says you can do this 
by yourself, or take along one friend and / or Twister. Chat, have coffee, 
and jam. 
Take your balloons and your business cards where ever you go. I had one lady 
write my phone number on a scrap of paper and she called me a year later and 
set up a party! She said she kept that scrap of paper in her wallet!  
Take care, have fun and keep on twistin'!!   Lori Soto from Northern
