It&#8217;s time to hurry up and get the costumes and candy the rest of the way ready.<\/p>\n<p>Are you doing anything for your home business with the holiday? Some people do.<\/p>\n<p>Halloween can be a great time to meet the other parents in your area. It&#8217;s quick, and the kids won&#8217;t let them stay and talk for long when they have candy on their minds, but you can prepare for that.<\/p>\n<p>One idea is to attach a business card to the candy you give out. You can use a bit of tape or staple it, being careful not to puncture the part of the wrapper where the candy actually is.<\/p>\n<p>Another is to put business card and candy into little baggies. These can look cute and are a great way to control how many pieces go to each kid if you&#8217;re offering more than one piece per child.<\/p>\n<p>You could also have something ready just for the parents. They probably won&#8217;t be interested in just a business card, but you could take any of the above ideas and have a special bowl for parents, keeping the plain treats for the kids.<\/p>\n<p>Key, in my opinion, is to not overdo it. Don&#8217;t do adverting that takes away from the fun of the holiday. Everyone&#8217;s focus should be on having fun. But if you can get something to go home with them you may be able to pick up some new clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halloween is less than two weeks away.
