What they need to do is brainstorm other ways to get their goods in the hands of customers. One excellent way to do this is to set up an interactive booth at a trade show, festival, conference, or other event. You only need one or two samples, and you can have hundreds of potential customers try them out on the spot.

This is quiet sad when one is trying to get in the business.. I think one way of doing some marketing, in these time is make it small and in your face, maybe even a business card with a sweet attached handed out at people driving past. Just an idea.
