New Business Launched, Need Marketing Advice!

[Birdson]

Hey!

I need some business/marketing advice from anyone willing to give their 2 cents.

I'm a college student and just launched a business. I live in a town that is rampant with Senior Citizens & Assisted Living Homes. I have a subscription box that I believe would benefit this market. Sign them up and chances are they will be a customer for life!...

Only if they could actually SEE my fantastic convenient service and possibly have a chance to order a box, personally delivered by yours truly. They use zero social media so don't even bother mentioning that. These people are like 60+. They are restrained to their homes for the most part. Any ethical ideas how I could market to them? I think my only option is to go door to door and help each one with the ordering process, but the assisted living places are private communities, no soliciting! This could be a solid customer base once the door is open. Any suggestions how I can get my service inside a private community?

The second market is students living in dorms on campus. I need to get my flyer and/or product on display there too. Possibly the parents of the students. Anyone know a way to go about that? I'm young, stupid, and ignorant so please help me! P.S. (I'm just joking about being stupid, my IQ is actually 25.) Thanks!
