Well it has been sometime since I have been able to sit down and add to my blog about the store. Summer is coming to a close and I am not sure where it went. First months of owning a business we did not take any real vacation this year. Lots of reasons, finances went to growing the business, time away meant store was closed, and my husband just started new job as well and has not earned vacation time yet. Looking forward to making it up next year. Even though we did not take vacation we enjoyed many summer activities like fairs, picnics, and celebrations. When you own a business you never know when the opportunity will come to grow your business. We have been invited to many events from the business and we have talked just having a good time and got several new customers in the process.
This changes the way you do things since you always have to be on your game. I have tried to show my best all year and have cards handy to hand out to those who have questions. We also handed out free glow bracelets at our local fireworks courtesy of Suzy's Treasure Chest. As we talked to each person handing them out we made more new contacts and the kids had a great time with additional surprise. Win, Win for all involved. This was small advertisement but I think in building my business it was a tremendous step. I even handed out 10% off cards. Using all resources around you is a key to Marketing.
