    Boat Detailing. How to get new customers

    Free newspapers for us around lake Winnipesaukee. Usually a weekly paper and people pick them up in diners, coffee shops, stores, even their marinas. The cost is low (like $20 a week) there are lots of people still reading the paper. We have 5 or 6 free papers around the lake. "Weirs times"...
