Cool! That's good news, thanks!

So, in those dry spells, $100 a month keeps you active and protects your carreer sales. Good to remember.

I am in such a Dry Spell, that I have not had the money to Advertise.

So Sales are Nill, None, Nada, Zip, Zero, Zilch.

I am hoping that my Christmas Cooking Book (out in Print early next week), which Mentions Items that I use in my home, that are PC, will help Sales to improve.

 

 

I don't really advertise.  The only advertising I get is from doing vendor fairs and word of mouth.  I just can't afford to do anything else.  The best way to "advertise" is to just keep your name in front of your customers and hosts through calls and maybe even a newsletter.  I do a monthly email newsletter that helps keep my name in their minds.  I don't always feel like I'm getting much from it since I rarely get feedback after I've sent it anymore, but I sure do hear from my customers when I miss a month!  I also have my name in our local MOPS group's monthly newsletter (which I just so happen to create!).  We don't charge for that as long as you're a member, I know some groups do.  But we also have a section for paid advertisements from businesses.  Something like that might be a possibility.  But the BEST form of advertisement is truly word-of-mouth.  And the highest form of compliment I think! 

 

Other free (yes I know it's not completely free) advertising options would be to drop off catalogs at local businesses in their waiting rooms/lobby's.  You may need to ask permission to drop one off, but if you're sitting somewhere waiting you can always "accidentally" leave one! lol!  You can also leave mini-catties or business cards or homemade flyers on bulletin boards about town.
