Plan your campaign to launch three weeks before and end three weeks after the school year has begun.

If you really want to become well known in your area, you can’t hide in your school and complain that no one has discovered you. You have to get out and hustle.

Associate Marketing
Look for local businesses that serve the same market. For instance, you approach a local pizza parlor with the offer paying for the printing of their menus in exchange for a presence on the menu.
