National Grilling Month ~ Have a barbeque and invite your “best customers.”  Have a retail store in a high-traffic area?  Why not set up a barbeque at work and give away “hot dogs?”  to your patrons.   You could do what Home Depot does and sell them with a drink at cost.  Take a picture of the event and send it to the media – with a media release that says “ ABC Company has gone to the “Dogs”…  or even send it out before the event letting your local community know about.
