Insects and other bug type props

I wondering how to spread the word of my insect and critter making business. It's hard to get in touch with industry people or production managers. Sometimes I can email the current production offices if the address is online. Any ideas? http://reelinsects.wix.com/grant

Hi there! I would say go ahead and visit the Connect page on Stage 32 and network with Production Managers on the site. After you add them, don't advertise your services right away. This is a.) spam/annoying, and b.) makes the person feel undervalued, as if they are not even worth holding a conversation with. Just start a normal conversation with them (Hello, how are you?, etc.). Once you have established a relationship with that person (i.e., exchanged words with them a -minimum- of three times), then you can go ahead and say, "Hey, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind checking out my page." And take it from there. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask follow up questions.
