Marketing Ideas for Memorial Day:

1.Arrange a private open-house for local VFW and American Legion organizations this coming Memorial Day weekend. Pick a time, before the weekend, to avoid competing with parades and barbecues.  You will create a pre-weekend buzz that will continue about you, throughout the weekend at other events.
2.Invite Patriot Guard Riders from as far as 100 miles away. They will come and add a unique positive aspect to your event.
3.Introduce or re-introduce your Veteran’s Funeral Plans. If you don’t have a program, use the open-house to announce you are creating one and give some preliminary details.
4.Get a package of tri-fold brochures from Affinity Casket featuring their line of USA made military tribute products.  Hand them out at the open-house.
5.Personally invite all Vets from your contact files, especially, those with pre-arrangements.
6.Put a sign up with an American flag and the phrase, “Thank You for Your Service.”  Keep it up throughout the Memorial Day weekend.  (Put it up again for Veteran’s Day.)
7.Email the above photo to all Vets in your contact files.  Invite them to visit anytime
