July is also:
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.Today is also:
