Teleseminar Offers Tips For Marketing A Craft Business… Without Going Broke!

Flint, MI – November 17, 2008 – The holiday season has officially begun, and that means it is prime time to market a craft business. Getting your business in front of holiday shoppers can be tricky – especially if you have a small advertising budget.

The teleseminar “How To Market A Craft Business Without Going Broke” (http://www.indiebizchicks.com/craft-business-seminar.html) offers tips and solutions that crafty business owners can use now to get more publicity during the holiday shopping season.

“Promoting your business is an essential activity. If no one knows your business exists, they cannot buy anything from you,” said Crissy Herron, the founder of www.IndieBizChicks.com and the host of the teleseminar. “Thankfully, there are many ways for a crafty business owner to promote their business online without spending a fortune in advertising.” Herron adds.

Some sample tips include:

• Participate In Local And Online Craft Fairs – There is probably some kind of craft fair in your local area every weekend right now. Participating in several of them in surrounding towns is a great idea, as it allows you to introduce your business to a wide circle of people. You can also find many online craft fairs to participate in.
• Hold Shopping Parties – Follow the lead of the direct sales industry and hold some “holiday shopping parties.” Invite your customers to hold parties, where they act as a hostess and invite their friends and family over to their homes to view your products and place their holiday shopping orders.
• Use Social Networking Sites – Social networking sites like Facebook.com and Twitter.com allow you to meet new people who may be potential customers or even business partners. Networking on these sites is very easy – you simply strike up a conversation.
• Blog On A Regular Basis – People love to read blogs, and your blog could be the first way many of your customers find you. Not only will it bring you web traffic, but it can also serve as the foundation of your customer relationships
