Advertising--Halloween

It's late and got a weird idea for advertising. This won't work for me as I don't get any trick or treaters where I live...but I would be curious to know if any of you have tried sticking your business card in with some candy (of course) in the trick or treater bag. When the parents inspect the candy, they would see your card. Sure, it may not be the best time of the year to advertise, but throwing an idea out there and was also just curious if someone has tried this.

Who is your target market?

If they are knocking on your door looking for candy it sounds like a good idea!

Doing business with neighbors (friends, and family) can be tricky at best and downright unpleasant at worst.

If all the kids go to main street to trick or treat see if you can set up your truck with some candy and get your name in front of potential buyers and create good will. Not sure you will land a lead doing this but name recognition is important.
