Slip Covers - Consider Making Your Own
Are you wanting to give your existing furniture a new look? Well, add a new slip cover to your old sofa, recliner or dining chair and liven it up. It's not difficult to do and it's far less expensive than buying new furniture.If you have even the most basic of sewing skills you make your own custom slip covers for your couch, cushions, etc. If you don't sew yo

As a home-based entrepreneur, you can’t afford to conduct surveys and market analysis the way major corporations do, but you should develop a solid idea of who and where your customers are and what they’re looking for. The problem is, too many artisans get it backward. They manufacture products first and then try to find buyers for them. It has to be the other way around: Research the marketplace; then develop products that will sell there. In the home-based jewelry business, the key to successful market analysis is observation. You have to pay close attention to how and where jewelry products are sold, what prices other artisans charge for their products, and who buys them.

Find the Right Outlets

Wholesale trade shows
Retail trade shows
Festivals and bazaars
Sidewalk arts and crafts exhibits
Farmers’ markets

Wine festivals
Open houses and craft parties
The internet
Gift and souvenir shops
Arts-and-crafts galleries
Specialty shops
Chain stores
Craft malls
Mail-order outlets
Arts and crafts co-ops

Start Small and Market Locally

Learn about every possible nearby outlet. Determine what’s available in your town, in your county, and within easy driving distance of your home. Find out where and when all the craft fairs and related exhibits are in your community and in nearby towns. Similarly, identify and locate all the shops and galleries that might handle your products. These should be your primary marketing targets.Gradually extend your research to include potential sales outlets throughout your state and region.

Telemarketing Do Not Call Lists
Do-not-call lists are playing spoilsport to any and all of the various telemarketing initiatives out there. These lists are compiled in a central database and filled by people who have called in and place their own names on the list. In addition, there can also be do-not-call lists for single companies, if that person expressly calls in and asks them not to call. These lists must be

Successful Marketing Requires Follow Up
I'd like to share the story of a new yogurt shop that opened in our neighborhood, because I think it provides some great marketing lessons we can all learn from.The Little Yogurt Shop That CouldThis little yogurt shop opened recently in a retail space that has been home to several ice cream shops over the past few years. None of the ice cream shops were successful in th

might handle your products. These should be your primary marketing targets.Gradually extend your research to include potential sales outlets throughout your state and region. Take some scouting trips and check out all the shops and galleries.In every town you visit, your first stop should be the local chamber of commerce or visitor center. Collect general descriptive literature about the community and find out about all the local events that offer opportunities for jewelry sales. Most chambers and visitor centers have brochures and other publications that provide all the details you need. Be sure to get literature about shopping, restaurants, and lodging, and ask for a complimentary copy of the local phone directory. Back home, file this material for later reference and trip planning. Tell the person at the visitor center what you’re up to and ask for recommendations. Sometimes potential outlets exist in the least likely places.

During your scouting trips you’ll learn about many other places you might not normally consider possible sales outlets. In my travels, I’ve found gift shops and galleries at hotels, motels, and lodges. I’ve been surprised to find artworks and jewelry on sale at many restaurants, marinas, and even campgrounds and RV parks. Make the most of your trips. Ask the locals lots of questions. Take notes. And observe, observe, observe.

While a doctor can be very useful in helping you deal with your child’s bedwetting, health care workers today are busier than ever and no one doctor can keep up with all the research and new information coming out each day.
