January 4th is National Trivia Day – Main Street merchants in Flemington , NJ have created a trivia contest with a $1,500 merchandise prize, in an effort to get more foot traffic downtown. Eighteen businesses sent out “Downtown Flemington’s Trivia Tour” game cards to 15,000 area homes. Players go to each business listed on the Monopoly-style board to get a question. At the next business they can get the answer to the question and a stamp to prove they’ve been there. When all the businesses on the card are stamped, players put their card in a drop box at the Union Hotel. Celebrate Trivia Day with promotional games and puzzles that stretch the minds of your customers.

These are just 2 of the 365 ways you can promote your business!
