She was on spring break and decided to help out for something fun to do, and she killed it! Cheers, Sunir Shah, Chief Handshaker, FreshBooks Hey Charlie,

Is it purely as away of getting business cards dropped in a bowl? Or are you judicously giving small bottles to those people who visit the stand and appear to be good prospects? I like that idea. Give a little surprise something only to relevant prospects. Charlie Thanks Adrian,

We've always found that giving away champagne or wine can be a great hook. Start with a big bottle for display but give away the little sample bottles with a prize draw for the big bottle. A lot of people like a bit of a tipple....hic! Adrian Hi Charlie,
