That Ain't Gold, It's Platinum, Baby!
Help Fight Hunger
Greetings!

Costco does it.

Baskin Robbins does it. (So does every other ice cream store.)

And now...Hanger does it too.

What is it?

Tiny Spoon Marketing.  Scroll down to get the whole scoop. Ha!

RooCompletely unrelated to spoons.
Here's my grandmother Ruth Elizabeth (we call her "Roo")
Saturday was her birthday. 
She turned 99. 
(You can't see them in the picture, but she's wearing heels!)
She rocks.
"Tiny Spoon Marketing"
Wendy Maynard is the Marketing Maven. 
Here's her take on "Tiny Spoon Marketing."

In marketing your business, this same "tiny spoon" approach is very attractive.
It's a technique you can use both online and in traditional types of marketing. This is an opportunity for you to tap into a strategy of abundance. By generously giving away free tastes of your remarkability, you entice prospects to do more business with you.

So...
What's Hanger putting on their tiny spoon? 

The WalkAide.

Here's an excerpt from "A Chance To Walk With Ease; New Device Offers Hope For Those Suffering Paralysis"

"...He said the only drawback was the cost - he paid about $5,000 - but once he experienced the effect it had on his ability to walk, he 'didn't really care.'
(Editor's note" OH MY GOODNESS COULD YOU ASK FOR A BETTER TESTIMONIAL?!?!?)

'I said, "Sign me up!" ' he said.

A free trial for the device is offered at Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics at 237 Route 108 in Somersworth. No prescription is necessary to try the device."
