Advertising for gifts, home decor and more
Well I am still getting the idea of blogging down as well as other social media. I have to say starting your own small business is not easy or cheap. I was driving home listening to my 3 yr old talk about the sun setting and at the same time trying to keep a train of thought on how to promote my business. Conclusion: I think I will take a try at placing fliers on people's houses in the immediate neighborhood. I am expecting that to be time consuming, but it will be a good chance to fight with the double stroller with the girls in that while I go up to doors... Now the tricky part, what time of day are people not at home so that I won't bother them... Or better yet, have people be home and show off the baby and catalogs at the same time... Will have to think about that. Of course the fliers will have to be rather easy to print from our cute home printer that likes to do a paper jam every 1st page; that should be fun to fight with. Oh well, if it was easy then everyone would be doing it. Any more ideas???

Find local businesses that would put your business card or catalogs in their place. Maybe a salon that people are usually waiting around for a stylist. Or some small place that would put out business cards (I have a water store around the corner that does that). That was the first idea off the top of my head. Jenn Cruz!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea. I will take the daughters with me for sympathy I think...
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I am so excited I have a bunch of 'simple' fliers to go distribute. Now on to the walking the streets to put these on peoples doors. There is one person in the neighborhood I want to avoid...too bad I don't kwow which house he is in. The guy from our HOA is not a nice person...so I might stick to the neighborhood to the East of us. The 3 yr old is wearing her Halloween costume today so that should be a great introduction topic... :)
