    Marketing furniture to the public can be challenging for a small business owner. Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are several furniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market.
    One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market—new home buyers—who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event (抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.
    In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier for your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company’s credit terms. Consider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.

    Although buses tend to be slower than the subway for traveling around New York city, there are many reasons to use the bus while visiting New York City：
    They tend to service areas of Manhattan that are not located close to subway lines.
    Buses offer the added advantage of being able to see various areas of Manhattan while you ride.
How Much Does the Bus Cast?
    Fare is $2.25 and can be paid with a MetroCard or coins (no dollar bills, no pennies).
    A free transfer to another bus or the subway within 2 hours is available if you paid with a MetroCard.
    If you pay cash you can ask for a transfer, but it is only good for transferring to another bus (not to the sub-way) within 2 hours.
Getting On and Off the Bus
    You must wait for buses at designated (指定的) bus stops.
    As you see the bus approaching your stop, you can put your arm out to indicate to the driver that you want to board the bus.
    Enter the bus through the front doors and pay your fare.
    Take a seat or move toward the back of the bus to make room for other people boarding the bus.
    To request a stop: Pull the cord or press the black band near the windows. A“Stop Requested”light will be on immediately at the front of the bus.
