it's fun for businesses to host special events to attract new customers and increase sales. I would like you to schedule your first contest. You can choose whatever type of contest you would like. Here are some ideas:
If you own a bakery, how about a contest to decorate cupcakes.
Sporting good store.....free throw contest.
Video game store....Call of Duty Battle.
Accessory store.....most outrageous outfit.
For this project, you need to create a flyer that will be used to announce the contest.
