What Would You Do with Tons of Extra Money for Your Business?

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Just found out about this cool opportunity and wanted to pass the word onto you… 

It’s called the “Office Depot Adopt a Small Business Contest” and seems like a potentially rewarding way for you to get your business out there.

Whether you win the contest or not, it’ll give you the chance to build some business buzz and make moolah anyway.  How?  Try these ideas on for size:

1.  Enter the contest and then put your entry on YouTube.

2.  Put your entry on your blog or website.

3.  Use the contest as a venue to get in touch with other entrepreneurs.

4.  Get your colleagues excited about your business by spending a morning or afternoon strategizing how to develop the best entry possible.

5.  Contact your best, most loyal clients and see what they would suggest you do for a contest entry.  Offer to give them discounts for a specified period if you win!  (That should get them excited, too!)

Again, whether you win the contest or lose the contest, it won’t matter — you will have used it wisely to savvily market your company!
