Here is something that has been running around in my head for the last
few days.  As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I am starting my own
private practice, offering doula services and breastfeeding support.

Having managed my husband's FP office for many years when he first
started out, I am well aware of the "detailing" that takes place in
which drug company representatives call upon docs to tell them the last
news about the drug de jour.  I've been toying with the idea of doing
something similar to get my business known in the local community and to
increase and perhaps rationalize the knowledge of breastfeeding in the
local docs offices, ie, staff and docs.

My questions include:

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of "marketing"?

If, so, what sorts of things have you used?  Copies of articles from bf
literature?  Booklets?  Your own favorite tips?

If you haven't tried this but you work in a docs office, what would you
like to see given to docs and staff?

If you're doc what would you find helpful?  What would you want to have
avoided?

Thanks to anyone who gives their 2 cents,
