Lots of luck on your Grand Opening tomorrow.
Time is very short and we do not know what or where you are.
Your tag says "Hair One", but no other info.
BIG SIGNS that say GRAND OPENING

SOMETHING FREE everybody loses FREE

FOOD, CAKE, SNACKS, BALLOONS,

GIVE AWAY'S with your name on them

COUPONS for the second and future visits

Time is short. Good luck, LUCKIEST

Hair One - Coupons make a difference. Include them in your local mailing service or Newspaper distributor.
Also if you have notice boards at local places of worship, a flyer there with a discount code (with an expiration date) will help.
Some local stores will allow you to place fliers free of charge.
Some local grocery stores have notice boards where you can post a flyer with a discount code.
If you have a university or college in the vicinity place flyers on their boards with discount codes.
It will help to have different discount codes for different locations in order to assess which advertising path was most effective.

If your looking for "Give aways" I would like to recommend Dale Anne, kaeserok@imprintbiz.com
She helped us with our promotion. I don't know what she can do on this short notice, but it wouldn't hurt to call her at 800-991-1967 or you can visit her website at http://www.imprintbiz.com.

I wish you the best of luck on your new business.
