Today’s chat inspiration (http://ow.ly/vkWnC) came from @BeelineandBlue who turned a donation into a city contract! #wideformat

That got me thinking about pro bono work & other situations where we can create opportunities for #print & make something out of nothing!

Q1: Are you or your company involved in any pro bono work? If yes, what types of projects?

Q2: Have you ever had new business emerge from something you have given away like @BeelineandBlue?

Q3: Looking locally – What are 3 ways you could market new #wideformat services by giving something away?

Q4: The local animal shelter needs some FREE print to get donations. How can we help them? CREATIVE BRAINSTORM!

Q5: A local school needs their yearbook printed and asked you to help. How can you ALSO market your capabilities tastefully?

Q6: Are there opportunities to partner with other local companies and do pro bono community work? How can you create them?

Q7: Where can you meet and network locally to create opportunities for #print?
