Hello Ladies, I wonder if you could help me. I started a business in devon selling sweets. We have come up with an idea to send sweets out to our soldiers. Our community put funds together and we was able to send sweets out recently. Unfortunately funds have run dry now but we would love to continue a service out to the soldiers. We sell all pick a mix sweets and we are trying to push the service for people to buy their friends and family out at war. Once the orders come in we pack and send them out via the post office so there is no postage charge. We are a little lost how to push this idea out of our area? We are looking for ideas and help in sharing this service, thank you in advance for reading. X

Not many ladies on this site, think I'm the closest you're going to get!

Have you tried Facebook? Probably the biggest marketing tool out there at the moment! Set up a page for your business explaining what you do, then share it with everyone you know, and get them to share it too.
There are also various military support groups on there that you can post your details on.

Tricky one, as parcels out to theatre are free anyway, so most people will just go to the shops and buy things to send out themselves, but good luck with it!
Just as an FYI, things like toffees, Wham bars etc tend to get a bit warm at some point along their journey and all stick together in a big lump that is very difficult to eat!
