I look forward to your newsletter. I have finally got all of my ducks in a row as far as contracts and forms go. Next I am going to be putting together my marketing materials. Contacting catering companies is on my to do list. My niche target will be restaurants and catering companies. That being said, I will not limit myself to just the food and beverage industry. I know when things take off for me it will be great, for now I am just pressing forward and looking for that elusive first client. We all have to start somewhere. -Kellie Evelyn

Have you thought of maybe doing some research and compiling a list of catering companies, perhaps starting with those in your immediate area, and mailing them an introductory letter. I'm a grassroots marketer. When I ran the Event and Meeting Planning and Music Business Programs at SFSU, marketing was a huge part of my programs' success; but I avoided the traditional marketing areas and did a lot of grassroots, non-traditional marketing, which seemed to the way to go. I'm going to be starting a weekly tips newsletter soon. So stay tuned. It will consist of network ideas, marketing, etc. I'm thinking of doing an Ebook as well. My one closed-captioning client just gave me notice that she would be going on air in a month and since this is my largest client, I've got to really really hustle now. Continued Succcess.
