We all hit a wall some times when it comes to marketing our business. Here are a few fun ways to promote your opportunity, take your business offline and get back to the basics.
1 - Buy small business card size zip lock bags at Walmart in the craft section (about $2 for 100 or more) Add your business card and a sample or goody that relates to your business to each one and hand them out everywhere you go.
2 - Use colored saran wrap and add a sample. Gather at the top and tie with colored ribbon and add a tag with your contact information on one side/directions on the other. Hand them out.
3 - Use Etsy to find other people who work at home and search custom car vinyl decals and have one custom made for your vehicle that really stands out. It is much less expensive to do it this way and you are also paying it forward by supporting other home business owners.
4 - Buy small Hershey bars and address labels and print your business info on the labels and hand them out everywhere you go. At the bank, the grocery store or even the mall. Also hand these out to parents on holidays such as Halloween, Christmas & Easter.
5 - Buy pens with your url printed on them from a wholesale provider online and leave them anywhere people may need a pen. At the Bank, check cashing places, gas stations and grocery stores.
There are hundreds of ways to get your business out there that are fun, inexpensive and will really make people take notice. These are just a few of the things I like to do to get the word out off line.
Have fun and remember that as long as you keep promoting yourself and your business, success will soon follow!
