What is hotter than summer? Fall sales! And with fall just around the corner, it is time to get the baskets ready to roll out a welcome. Businesses pick up the pace, bringing in new staff members; schools welcome new faculty; neighborhoods welcome new families. All across America, the ‘welcome back’ rituals begin.

If you’re ready, your business could be rolling with extra orders. Look through your current inventory for containers and gift components just perfect for welcome gifts. A plain crate can become a wagon, just by adding wheels -- even cardboard ones glued to the sides.

Here are a few places to consider for new business:
- The Chamber of Commerce (roll out a welcome to new members)
- Country clubs (roll out the welcome to new members)
- Corporation Board of Directors (roll out the welcome to new board members)
- City Council (newly elected officials)
- Schools (new principals and/or teachers)

. . . and the list goes on!

Even if the old stand-by real estate market is a little slow on orders, build up other markets with fresh ideas -- to go!!
