Triple B Tip- Top 10 Tips on Marketing your Direct Sales Business
When I was in Direct Sales one of the biggest challenges for me was to not spend money. Especially money we didn’t have. As I wanted to do every event I saw. And to join every Networking group I found. And take out ads everywhere. And most of the time I was spindling my wheels and spending money we didn’t have. And a lot of the time we wasn’t getting anything out of it.
So now that I am Blogging and seeing things from a different perspective I wanted to share with you some ways you can be seen without spending a fortune. And still get your name out there. And no, I can not guarantee you will get sales. But I can say you will not go broke.
1) The first thing I would like to say is find another business that compliments yours and work up ways you can share booths so instead of paying for two your only paying for one booth.
Avon and Usborne books could work together and promote bath time reading and make a Basket to giveaway.
Or mommy and me time as you could do a childs book and items for the mom to pamper them both with.
Or how about a Chocolate Dove party and a Wine lady for moms and dads
2) Go into local businesses and ask if you can leave business cards and a flier and if you get orders from there business you will give them a free item free gift for every 10 orders. And pick them up something inexpensive as a Gift like a Gift Card to McDOnalds.
3) Go into a Pizza Resturant and ask them if you can bring them some fliers with your information and if they would hand them out when they deliver the pizza to there customers.
4) Talk to Booster Clubs in the local High Schools and ask them if they need Fundraisers or if they have events and if you can sponsor a event in exchange for announcing your business to the attendees.
5) Offer your services to a local business for a Open House Customer Apprection Day and take bottles of water with your info on them.
6) Find local Charties like 5K runs and hand out water with your information. As a lot of time they will let you have a table for free.
7) Contact Senior Centers and places like this and offer to come spend time with the patients and while there ask to leave books and cards for the patients families.
8) Find other business owners and ask if you can give them cards and catalogs of yours and you switch handing each others info out. And set a party up for each other. As you can gain new customers this way.
9) Contact local Churchs and ask if they do a newsletter and if you could take a small space out in them about your business.
10) Visit the Local Food Turcks in your area and ask to take a small ad out on there truck. And in the Food Parks.
