My Million Dollar Bills
For the past month I have been over planning for a home show. My booth has been built with displays set up for the past 3 weeks or so. I have been looking for a free handout that someone would actually keep for more than 5 minutes.
I ordered 2000 million dollar bills that I can print my promo/contact info on the back. They come as a full sheet and once you print them you have to cut them out. They look somewhat real aside from the million dollar part. My questions: #1. Has anyone every used them before? #2. Do you think people will actually hold onto them and share the "gag" with the friends/family? #3. Other than my normal message on the back, any suggestions on a catchy quote for the back? www.milliondollarsource.com |

Re: My Million Dollar Bills
Yeah, along what Robert is saying, you could hand them out with a big smile and say something along the lines of "Here ya go, you can use this as a down payment on the project you want to hire us for."
Those are better than giving out Tootie rolls, guys like me when they see candy are just trying to figure out if I can nab it while avoiding eye contact.

I might have the eye contact thing figured out. Digital name tags. I was at a show a month ago and a vendor had one with a message that scrolled across it. #1 it caught my eyes #2 it stopped me in my tracks to read the message #3 it gave him time to engage me in conversation. So I ordered two of them ($30 each). Last edited by dougchips; 02-01-2007 at 05:11 PM. Reason: spelling |

Re: My Million Dollar Bills
Hey doug, johnny come lately here, do you find you get a lot of useful info from the trade shows? (remember where this question is coming from, compared to you, I'm just a pup). By the way deck advise you gave me, AWSOME. I was trying to wait for the HO to paint the siding I patched after the deck, so I could get some good pics. but still not done. F*()&IN HO, think just because they own the house, they can take their time,
![]() ![]() Anyway thanks again for the very pertainent advice.(I know I'm just another young pup), but I appreciated. ![]() ![]()

Re: My Million Dollar Bills
I was just reading a recent press release story about how well DougChips home show went with him passing out those fake million dollar bills.

Re: My Million Dollar Bills
My bro-n-law did those million dollar bills for his insurance agency. Used his face on the bill in lieu of some president. I still have one somewhere.
