Research Pays Off...

I have become a research junkie. I am always searching for more and better ways to reach my customers and future fans of Thighbones Catering. This week, during my many forays onto the web, I found a new site that allows for group fundraising and takes away a lot of the hassle! SO we at Thighbones have launched a campaign to raise funds to get into the Summer festivals and create new fans and perhaps a tipping point in our popularity. I am envisioning serving our Soul Food, Mexican, Asian, Italian and Barbecue in newer, more delicious and creative ways!! So much yumminess!! The website we are using is called CrowdTilt. The way it works is: We set up a profile and a date by which we want to raise funds by. Then we set an amount we wish to raise, in our case $3,000. Then it is up to us to promote this thing everywhere and to everyone we know. That's the fun part! I realized that I have many networks to include Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, LinkedIn, and my many email accounts. This promotion has 6 days and 23 hours to "Tilt". If we don't reach our goal, no one who has pledged is charged. If we do, LOOK OUT FESTIVAL CIRCUIT!!. I am excited and pretty confident that we can tilt this thing. I will give an update soon!
