Answer: Business cards are a great advertising tool because you can leave them anywhere. They're also easy to hand out to potential clients who've shown interest in your services. Carry your cards with you at all times so that you can hand them out anytime the opportunity arises. Make sure your company name, logo, and contact information are included on the card. You may want to spend more to include a photo of a successful construction project on your card so that potential clients see your work. . You can make a simple flyer in any word processor or in a program like Microsoft Publisher. Include a photo, your company information, and a few details about what sets your business apart. It's a good idea to include pull tabs at the bottom containing your contact information so that clients can pull them off. For example, you might include local specials you're running, or you might provide a list of your services.

You can send the press release to local newspapers, radio stations, and TV outlets. They may share it at their discretion. It's best to use press releases to announce things like the opening of your business, special offers, and the completion of major projects. For example, you could issue a press release regarding a ribbon-cutting for a construction project you just completed. Send your release to as many outlets as possible, but realize that not all of them will decide to publish it. A direct mail campaign sends your business' promotional materials directly to potential clients through their mailbox. You can narrow your marketing campaign based on age, income, or family size.

Feature your company name, logo, and a tagline if you have one. A commercial can be costly, but it will help you connect to more potential clients. Decide on a message you want to communicate to clients, such as the basic details of your business and the services you provide.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be safe. Aim for a hard surface. Launch the grenade.

Answer: Make sure you and those around you are wearing the proper attire to launch paintball grenades. If thrown with enough force, they may cause bruising so cover up. Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, as well as goggles. To achieve the best results, it's a good idea to aim for a bunker at the paintball field or a fort. The impact will increase the spray radius. Plus you will be able to eliminate more players. When ready, remove the cotter pin from the tube but leave the washer in place. Toss the grenade at the intended target. Once the washer hits the ground or other hard surface, the tube will burst open causing paint to splatter for several feet. When pulling the pin, if paint starts to leak, throw it immediately or you will be covered with your own bomb! For optimum results, throw the grenade high into the air so it has maximum impact hitting the ground.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Heat a cast iron skillet. Lightly cook the dough patties. Cool slightly. Pinch the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Answer:
Place a large cast iron skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Give the pan 1 or 2 minutes to heat up. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, any nonstick frying pan should work adequately well. Ideally, you should not add any oil to this pan before or after it heats up. If you need to add some type of nonstick coating, apply a light layer of nonstick cooking spray to the surface before heating the pan. Place three dough patties on the hot skillet. Cook the dough for 1 minute, flip, then continue cooking for another minute. Arrange the dough patties on the skillet with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between them. You should cook the dough patties until they brown and blister on both sides. This should be a quick process as long as the pan is adequately hot. Remove the sopes from the pan and allow them to cool for 30 to 60 seconds, or until they are cool enough to handle safely. Do not wait for the sopes to cool completely. If they cool too much, you won't be able to shape them. Use your fingers to pinch around the outer edge of each sope, forming a 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) rim around the entire circumference. You should form this raised edge on the side of the sope cooked first to help protect your fingers from the hot dough. While not strictly necessary, you could also pinch a smaller ring around the center of each patty. Doing so may help prevent the sope from falling apart after you fill it. After shaping your first three sopes, continue shaping the remaining nine dough patties in the same manner. Work with only three patties at once. If you try to do too many, the patties may burn or cool too quickly. Set aside the shaped sopes while working on the flat patties. Try to keep them warm.
