Help! I have weird resources...
Hi,
I helped a guy out on another forum - and he wanted to thank me by sending me 1000 fortune cookies!
I own a web design company... What should I put in them? I would probably just mail them to potential clients with a targetted brochure (which would be designed around the cookies). The idea being more of a buzz generator then straight advertising.
I`m new in this area - so just getting my name out will help. Then when I do sales pitches/calls to actually try to get their business they will have heard of me.
But what should I put in the cookie?

A great idea would be to include a "winning" ticket inside one of the cookies, and the only way for people to find out if they`ve won is to come to your website. Once they get to your site, it would be a nice idea to have information there they can download or something "sticky" to keep them on your site for a while.
Good luck!
Couldn`t you send the cookies to existing clients for a % off of your services? I don`t know how many clients you have, so perhaps you can also send some to warmer leads who may already know you?
So I guess I`m a bit torn on my suggestion of its use MattThomas4/7/2009 12:04 PM
But I understand that many people may not eat the cookie (which really isn`t a concern to me). Mostly just want to use it as an eye catcher (like Matt said). I`m just not sure the best way to do it. I wouldn`t have gone out and purchased 1000 fortune cookies -- it`s a gift...

Redfish, I`m assuming you didn`t know the guy who`s sending the cookies very well, correct?
I`m located in Canada - where court cases are very rare unless it`s very serious (people don`t sue people here - they have them criminally charged). Even if I was taken to court, something like that would be dismissed by a judge before it came to trial. I also wouldn`t be on the hook.
However, word of mouth is important - that`s something to consider...
