Many thanks to all who responded,
The response was overwhelming. Thanks to everyone who gave us tips and
encouragement. Starting a new business is NOT easy.
We just received our $5000 market plan with Kennedy Communications, (a
Madison,WI, Advertising Agency). They basic outline of what they told us to do
was to put our blinders on and go for the medium to heavy disposable glove
users. Once we get established in that field we can go to others. This market
is basically made up of nurses and home health care providers.
Tom has to go lots of shows within a days drive of Mauston (Wisconsin)(to
avoid airplane expense). We also have to buy a six time ad in a national nurses
magazine (the biggest expense).
Kennedy gave us a list of suggested shows and magazines which was very
helpful. They also advised us to continue with the catalogs (Lab Safety, ETC)
but that we shouldn't assume that that's really marketing.
Our ad will be really cool and feature our new 800 number!!
1-800-837-6503
I'll let you all know what magazine our ad will be in when we select it.
The show list will also be provided so that you can come out and bug Tom.
