Have you seen any of the Kitchen Nightmares UK episodes? They're all on YouTube. (Not the U.S. version, it's terrible.) A lot of the episodes have at least one part where Ramsay gets out and puts samples in front of people ... I'm not even in the food business and I find these things helpful to watch from time to time for learning customer engagement.

I have only watched a few US version. I am definitely going to put more samples out there, starting by hitting up meetups and getting people to try my food. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

Hitting meetups is a really good idea, but can I say that orangethirty said get out now, today, before lunch.

Hitting meetups - well it might be a good excuse to wait. You know, that meetup tonight is not so big, I will do Thursdays. Plus Thursdays, well the venue does its own catering and won't let me in till ....

Get outside the nearest two pre made sandwich places - and success is selling twenty lunch packs to people who otherwise would have bought a sandwich - this lunchtime.

Get out if the office and get out now.

Good luck :-).

I definitely appreciate the feedback. I am planning to work day and night at the moment on reaching out to people online in many different sources from email, twitter, facebook, etc. As it is the weekend and many business are closed, I wanted to maximize my time in this way and also make a list of things to prepare for next week, so I can hit the ground running on Monday.
