Small Business Marketing Tactic: COUPON SHEET

Partner with local market business owners to create a 1-page COUPON SHEET that YOU distribute within your local community.

- Local public/private schools (many schools allow business flyers into their teachers' mailboxes)
- Local college campus (student union, professor)
- Radio stations
- Grocery stores (many have bulletin boards, "Take One-Free" bins, etc)
- Daycares
- Churches
- Nursing/Assisted Living Homes
- etc.

As you begin to grow your distribution list for the coupon sheet, you can add a new revenue stream by charging the participating businesses a small fee to be included on the flyer.

Remember to include a coupon on the Coupon Sheet for your business as well!
