Also, how did you cope with consumer spending downturns in the past? Thanks, Consuela Shirley,

I'd like to hear more about finding corporate clients. I always read about people who worked in the corporate world and later started a business so they already had many contacts. What's the best way to "infiltrate" this market if you're on the outside looking in? Also any tips you might have for when I do land those big corporate orders this year.

I'm also sending out postcards the end of this month and beginning of September to REMIND everyone that I'm STILL here. With a lot of business closing their doors, I want to let everyone know that I haven't. I have also made some contacts to try and get some corporate people interested in my "budget" line :) Rosemarie Hi Shirley,
