I read this a little late, but have to say that I will be thinking of that little extra next year during Halloween. Sometimes we don't like getting out of our comfort zone, and need to think outside the box. Good read J..

The take away I got from this is thinking outside of the box. Business owners across all industries try to duplicate efforts of others within their industry, often with mediocre results. The true out-of-box entrepreneurs look for unique ways to reach the consumer by looking outside of their industry.I also don't celebrate Halloween but this idea triggered many different ideas though.Again, great article. Lamar,

Great marketing ideas. The take away I got from this is thinking outside of the box. Business owners across all industries try to duplicate efforts of others within their industry, often with mediocre results. The true out-of-box entrepreneurs look for unique ways to reach the consumer by looking outside of their industry.

I also don’t celebrate Halloween but this idea triggered many different ideas though.

Again, great article.

To me this still seems kitchy but I like it better than looking opportunistic with children.Also some agents in our town have been very successful with buying coffee or a newspaper for NYC commuters at local train stations.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to get everything ready in time to try it out. My son got sick, so we had to of course make that our priority. I think I might try it next year as well and record the results...if any. lol We'll see... Thanks Yuri. I’m glad you liked it.

Especiall if you'd like to target your own neighborhood as the "area specialist". I was thinking that if I do try that I'd need to get the "good candy" because you certainly don't want to be the chintzy one in the neighborhood if you're trying to make a good impression. I'll try that next year. Thanks for the tip! What a great idea about the business cards attached to the candy, hadn’t thought of that before.

Loved all bit of information. I think a "tricked-or-treated"business card sounds ok. I would be inclined to try nxt year. Thanks. Loved all bit of information.
