I'm pretty pleased about today.
Today was a dark & wet day, crummy. I decided to shave my beard yesterday which is like cutting off the head of that mythical beast that just keeps growing more necks. (the monster I believe Hercules had slayed in the Disney movie?)
Anyway, the day being so awful I decided to get a haircut, which was long overdo. The only haircut I get is, "number 2", basically they shave you almost bald.
I love doing this because every time I go to a different barber, they have to ask me if I'm serious/sure I want a number 2. Considering my hair is very long at the time, they assume I might want it cleaned up, but not scalped!
So anyway, got my haircut & made friends with the Asian lady who did it, & her Asian husband who owns the place.
I have been there a few times within a few years since it has opened, & I just recently learned that the Asian couple have bought it.
Knowing that (without being stereotypical) every Asian/Indian business owner I have known will offer to have my business cards placed in their shops.
On the same road, I have cards now in:
3 Depanures *cough* Canadian language sorry, "Convenient Stores"
(Asian, Indian, Indian)
2 Chinese Restaurants
(Asian, Asian)
2 Barber Shops
(Asian, Indian)
2 Grocery Stores
(Indian, Asian)
1 Dollar Store
(Indian)
1 Video Store
(Asian)
- I don't know if I'm throwing this out there as stereotyping, but I'm always turned down by anyone who owns a similar business who is not Asian or Indian. I suggest asking Asian or Indian store owners if you may place your marketing material in their stores.
I'm going to see about placing cards at local car washing/mechanic shops. The problem is I'm usually rejected by Caucasians, LOL.
