Every business model needs a public relations strategy even a Hot Dog Vendor; Seriously and why not? Yet you are now laughing and want to find out what on Earth a Hot Doggie Vendor can do for public relations and community goodwill. Well do not laugh too long, because it just so happens that they make excellent Neighborhood Business Watch Program participants and it also can bolster hot dog sales too. Consider if you will the current hot dog vendor business model; HOT DOG VENDORS: You cannot get any closer to grass roots than this. Hot Dog Vendors and other street vendors sit in one spot and talk to people all day. If they have a sign on their cart for all to see, you program will benefit greatly. Passers by will learn of the program and regular customers will often volunteer to join in after a few weeks of seeing the sign. These types of vendors tend to know a lot of people and can even hand out flyers to all their customers for a couple of weeks as the program gets going. You will be shocked how well this works. People use the Hot Dog vendors for advice on their love life, stock picks, who to vote for and now how we can all help eliminate growth in crime rates. Indeed every business needs to give back to their community and consider a public relations program. Joining a Neighborhood Watch costs little if anything and the amount of community goodwill makes it a win/win situation for all. Consider this in 2006. |
