Hello everyone! I need input and suggestions ... PLEASE!

So it's been a long wait time, and my "display month" is approaching. Let me explain. Last May when I officially opened my VA practice, I proudly marched into my bank and opened up my business account. At that time, I learned that I could have a whole entire month to create a display to be featured in my bank's lobby in order to promote my business. I had been on a wait list, and my turn is now coming up (August). I have been coming up with many ideas and would be so grateful for any input or ideas.

These are my ideas:
*A nice sized poster
* Bowl of candies (who can resist coming over for candies) - and of course a small trash can so the bank lobby doesn't become littered. (I checked with the bank if this was appropriate, you know, for safety issues, and they said that many others put candies out -- so as long as they are not home-made and sealed) ahh, the world we live in.
* A jar to collect business cards. I'm thinking of raffling off a $25 gift card to Starbucks (great for the morning commute to the office) and one to the Olive Garden (great for a quick lunch for two)
* Business cards
* Brochures (I have a "What is a virtual assistant" brochure)
* Ready-made files with printed 'eXPERT Business Support Services' labels - inside will be more information on my business

Anything I missed? Ideas are more than welcomed. They are appreciated!
I've got to rock the house with this. A whole month to be noticed? That is a long time!

Patty,

How exciting and what a great service for the bank to offer. You've put together a great list and I really like your raffle idea.

Do you have a newsletter or blog that you regularly update? You could leave out a form so people can add their email address to your mailing list.

Hope this brings you lots of new clients - let us know how it goes. Maybe I should badger my credit union to do something similar.
