open house - invite ALL you know - invite strangers if you are up to that - put an Ad in the paper announce your Biz local to town - hang up flyers - I have them EVERYWHERE - stores, gas stations, laundry matts - find any sort of craft show, expo , festival that will allow home party plans and do these - talk to EVERYONE you meet about your Biz - if you get a name tag - wear it - have Biz cards stick them in when paying bills , leave on the table at restaurant with the tip -
This is what I am doing to get the word out here
Actually been at a Craft Show since Fri - tomorrow is the last day - kind gald - someone broke into a few booths last night - my friends who we always do shows together for restroom breaks and such - they took a BUNCH of her stock from off the tables and the large container under the table - so she is about done - stinks when people do this - but she made a report and can either turn it into her Biz insurance or use the report for end of the year on taxes - this is something to think about when doing shows - where you leave your set up over night - there are idiots in this world
Good Luck and just plaster your Biz all over
