Smile Business Giveaways

Hi,

Just returned from Turkey, after visiting my sister who moved out the 5 years ago. Very hot but had a good time.
I took a quantity of my giveaway samples and found new business every place I went.

The resuarants lved the cheap giveaways and I have retuned wth some good orders.

While I was away I also got some good orders from Customes here, so business must be picking up.

Speek soon

Dave

Welcome back Dave, having a deja vous moment, sure I answered this last night

So you looking to break into the Turkish market, or just a one off, combining a little bit of biz with holiday?

Surprising there isn't a cheaper local equivelent, especially when you put the price of shipping costs on, maybe you have found a niche market?

Hi Steve.

I have mnaged to get the new business through not charging th carrage,

My sister comes over every 6 weeks and will take them back wih her. beats r/mail.

I won the orders through price and quality, and small quantities.

Look foward to going over again to clinch more business.

Dave

Having lived in Turkey myself for a couple of years a few years ago, I have one piece of advice for you...............make sure you get your money before giving them anything

Turkey is a lovely country to holiday in but it's also quite corrupt to live in and do business

Hope it all goes well for you though
