Well, pretty tired tonight. So this will be brief. I think I have said that before. Anyway, Work was just work today. I actuall accomplished quite a bit of paperwork. Never see to get ahead but staying on top of things.
Had dinner with Clinton & Stephanie at Moose's BBQ tonight. Yummy stuff. Kids have a dance tomorrow at school so I have to get them from there at 5:30. Clayton is an 8th grader and Lexie a 6th grader. So Lexies first middle school dance. I went with Clayton to one last year and most kids were just sitting around in the cafateria talking in their little clicks. Probably show up a little early to check things out.
Have not worked much on the things I wanted to like eating better and quitting smoking today or any physical fitness stuff. Just never feels like enough hours in the day to do something. So hard to eat right on the run all the time. Its whatever I can eat and drive alot of days. Oh well, will start again trying harder.
I have been forgetting to list something I am thankful for in my posts. Well I guess I actually have with talking about the friends I am thankful for. I am thankful for so many things and so many people. The last couple weeks have been very uplifting and fun for sure. Crazy hectic, but you always make time for a text or quick call. I am thankful for those things. I used to always post my number for people to text me at random. Its 843-817-7538. Always fun to chat with new people. Some more then others. LOL.
I do however miss home a bunch this past couple weeks. Miss being near my friends and family there. I always seem to find things out either on Facebook or days after they happen. I wish I was there with them all and especially my GOOD friends. :)
Let me chat about another thing I do really quick. I already mentioned the Main Job in my last post and talked about Jump Castles and Snow Cone business. Next I have what I call The Pizza Card. Its a plastic card good for 20 free pizzas at a local pizza place. Basics of it is I get a pizza place to offer a deal I can put on it for 20 free pizza's. The deal is a bit flexible, but has to be 20 Free Pizza's. So they Place I have now is offering a Free Medium 1-Topping Pizza with the purchae of a large specialty pizza. You can up the freebie to a large 1 topping for $2.00. So the first hurdle was finding a pizza place to let me do this. What do they have to gain. They get a customer who will come in at least 20 times to buy a large pizza. If they upgrade it covers the cost of the free pizza. Many tmes they will add topping as well. Its advertising that they dont pay for unless it brings customers in. Completely free to the pizza place. I printed the cards and now the second part is selling the cards. Retail on them is $10. Goal is to get fundraisers to sell them for $10 and they pay me $3 a piece when they are done the selling spree. So I mainly market to schools. I have one school thinking of doing it with 340 kids that will be selling them. Could be in the thousands. They will make a ton, I buy super nice gifts for top sellers, like laptop, ipad, kindle or Nooks, and so on depending on total sales. Have to get one particular Pizza Place if this high school will do it. Having trouble reaching them. Will have to get creative. Other options to sell them is just hire people to walk around and sell around the locations at busy spots. They sell for $10 and keep $6 Hit 100 cards in a week and keep $7 per card. So thats my idea. Well I saw someone else doing it online. I will have 500 cards for my first pizza place in my hands tomorrow. Its for Papa Murphy's and they have 5 locations they are good at around Charleston. When a customer comes in they simply punch one of the 20 mini pizza's out until card is gone. Gonna set up a simple page site as well for people to come back later to get cards from. Will have all them for all the places I sign up. This will be for direct sales. Will just have website on cards. Going to venture to a Sub Sandwich card and a Golf Card as well sooner or later. Anyone has a fundraiser they wanna do let me know and I can help. Can do this anywhere.
OK, have to get up early for meeting at work. We meet on Fridays at 8:15 with owners and sales staff. Good night everyone. Sweet Dreams and Love you bunches. :)
Have a nice weekend!
