    The above promotion can be handed out at various events or meetings you attend. You can give them to others whenever you are out. It will be a huge help you talk up this event and hand out these mini promotions.  They can either be printed and cut in quarters, and if you have a printer at home , you can print them and use a paper cutter to cut them in quarters (any store that offers printing has a paper cutter).
