spatreats4u Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 How do you advertise...sell your items...???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deliciously Wicked Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Since I am still fairly new on opening my company right now its mostly by word of mouth. You can post on craigslist but so far I have not got any sales from that but its free so no skin off my back.You can write a press release and send it out to your local paper.Unless you have tons of money which I think its fair to say most of us do not then you could do radio or tv or a a newspaper ad.Leave your business cards on bulletin boards and hand them out to whoever you can. Also making flyers is a good advertisment and fairly cheap to do. Network with other business owners in your community.Just remember it takes a lot of time. Keep working at it and you will continue to build clientele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deliciously Wicked Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I guess I misunderstood. Since I have not seen you post on craigslist for awhile and your Ebay store is closed I thought maybe you were looking for suggestions. I agree though its always great to share ideas.

Deliciously Wicked Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I could have sworn I saw an ad for your business on craigslist but its been awhile. You are in Gresham so unless someone else is using your business name that's in Gresham to. Thats how I actually found your business before you ever came and posted here.No biggy either way just offering help if you needed any.

Janelle Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Our advertising is mostly word of mouth, through the grapevine and through wholesale flyers that we mail out to different stores. It's been working pretty good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deliciously Wicked Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Weird cause when I brought it up this morning it said craigslist.com and was fine. I checked again because I have it uder my favorites. When I manually type in craigslist.com it goes to .org but I did not get anything weird. Sorry for any confusion.
