  1. Here's the story on the May Day baskets. I had already planned on doing these and it was a couple days before May Day. I was new in the neighborhood and only knew 3 people on the block. My number one tip is to THINK who do you already know? What do they do for a living? Is there anyway I can incorporate that with something I make? Anyways, the lady across the street was the local public librarian. Hmm. My next door neighbor owned a health food store, beauty shop AND spa all in one building. Well on this particular day the librarian was out working in her yard. She was a member of the local garden club and knew ALOT of people. I had made a basket with a sampling of what I was doing(soap, candles, lotion etc) and walked across the street. I told her "Sweetie, you are making me tired watching you do all this work. I was gonna wait till May Day, but here's a little something for you to relax with tonite". (Oh, she was married and there was a man's soap and lotion too. After all, he works and HE knows people too!) She thought it was the sweetest thing and she loved it. She took her lotion to work, others tried it, pretty soon I was getting calls from the other ladies she worked with. The guy next door who owned the shop asked me where I had boughten the things because his wife wanted to mail a bunch of it to....drumroll.........AUSTRALIA! Then we started talking about him carrying my products. Dont be shy ladies. I know its hard at first, but you never know. If they dont go for it, dont take it as rejection or that your products are no good. You know they are! Thats just one no out of the way! Remember who do I know, what do they do? Where are the places I go and dont think about introducing products? Do You carry cards and brochures with you at all times? Do you carry samples? Sorry Im starting to ramble here.But thats another tip.
