Magazine Sales with a Bonus

(Cleveland, Ohio)
When my kids came home with their magazine fundraiser, I was a bit sad because I know how hard it is to get people to subscribe to magazines. What I decided to do was have my kids go door to door on the street and ask people if they would like to have a magazine subscription and for each house that ordered one, they were allowed to offer a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies as a special bonus. I made all the cookies myself and it was a success. We live on a long street and word got out that my cookies were delicious so I actually had people calling my house asking me if they could order more magazines to get more cookies! Eventually, I turned that into my own business too!
