Or perhaps not. Selling widgets at a discount, that would work, but personal services, I dont think so. I work in the personal service world, and if I offer my servies at a discounted rate if you brought in a bit of Sunday's "Parade" section, my integrity would be called into quesiton. Far better to take your normal hourly rate, and run a special 10% above that. See what happens. My bet would be that you get at least 25 requests for your services out of the 1888. Now that is marketing. D.J. Hmmmm,

I think it's a good idea. You have lots of good ideas and tips. I have no doubt you will be highly successful this coming year. Happy new year!
