    Cold called on a Barbershop today and we had a nice conversation. During our conversation it was discovered he likes to give back to the community. Haircuts for Homeless immediately popped into my head. Wondering if anyone else has put together a similar promotion or suggestions.

    Love this idea, and will be including your post in this week's newsletter!  I know there are some organizations that work with homeless people to help find jobs, and one of the things they request for donations is new or gently used business attire.  If there's such an organization in your area, maybe the barbershop could partner with them to provide professional haircuts?

    Thank You Ms Rebecca.  That's what we were thinking in house.  Tie in a staffing company for resumes, donations for business attire, Barber shop for haircuts and shaves....ect...

    If we do it, we are leaning towards calling it ... "New Year, New You".  We would invite listeners to nominate a family, couple, ect....who need a little boost.  Need something to finally go their way for a change.  We would have a salon / barber shop, clothing store, staffing company, maybe an apt complex to help with discounted rent, a bank to help open an checking / savings acct ....ect.  Opens the door for 5 or 6 new clients to come aboard.  Helps get a family or couple out of a rut to get back on their feet.
