Hi Rosie, I opened my new group as a consultant in September. Get your A frame in a good position- near a supermarket or post office or newsagents - if you are struggling to get posters out. Get a cheap bike lock - mine got moved by some kids while I was in my venue- and chain it to a post. Have you managed to get your banner up? Set up your own facebook page and use the media prong. Wear a Slimming World Tshirt, and carry a SW shopping bag with your group details on every where you go. Have you got a group advert going in the local paper? Find out from your TD. Hairdressers are good places to leave your magazines - don't worry about them being in a bag, just stickers with group details inside, and some leaflets on display. Any wedding shops nearby? Leave some leaflets with them. New year is a great time to start, with all the NYResolutions, but get your group noticed, other wise you are straight back out doing the promotion from start to finish, and chasing your heels for 6 weeks getting those 25 new members. Hope that helps
