Holly Springs has a wonderful hometown-style parade. I have attend it every year since living in Holly Springs. A few years ago when my Daughter started Girl Scouts, her Brownies troop was in the parade. I was overjoyed. I too was in a parade in my stint in Girl Scouts. The second year I was a leader and I was able to ride in the truck with the troop. Last year I just watched.
This year I was in the parade with my Leads Group. We are a very active group but we are trying to grow. The leader suggested we walk in the parade to boost our attendance and presence in the community. I jumped at the chance. I too am trying to boost my business and presence in the community. A match made in heaven. We created a hand out to promote the group. I proudly passed out my brochure and business cards.
I felt like a million bucks! It was fun, goofing around with my fellow business owners and seeing the smiling faces. I did notice a little bump in my website hits. My husband poo-pooed the idea, saying it was not a great marketing plan – but it was so much fun, who doesn’t like a parade?
