Pens....I get them from www.nationalpens.com.  They are priced just right and given the information on them is MINE!!!! My customers LOVE IT...it's a "little bit O naughty" in their purse!!! Right next to that incognito vibe I sold them the night before!

I also have a FABULOUS lady I deal with for EMBROIDERY... www.tacobird.com  Becky is fantastic.  I give all my new recruits a Red & Black backpack with "Slumber Parties by "X"".  It is a great business tool!

My business isnt about selling something so my tool is the internet!  I love talking to people on cafe mom and many other networking sites, forums and groups all over! 

I was thinking about getting a T-shirt and car magnetic decal that says

"I get paid to shop!"
www.powermallworks.com

Is that too cheesy?  what kind of idea does that give you?
Im afraid it sounds like a mystery shopping deal.

i buy the magnet business cards from vista print and give one to each hostess the night of her show. In fact when i leave her house, she has the option 1/option2 sheet on her fridge with my magnet :)

i also just got in my first shipment of national pens. I love them! it was hubby's idea for me to have these!

Hi everyone! My name is Heather and I sell candles for Dragonfly Dreamz Candles. My favorite way to advertise is this: I take my business cards and staple them to a mini ziplock bag which I have put a candle tart/melt in. It is a free little sample for my customers or whoever. It is better than just handing out a card alone! Thanks for letting me share,this is a good idea for any candle seller!  Heather

I love to give away samples!  That is the greatest product testimony.  Also since I have an internet biz, I give away alot of business cards, and catalogs too for easy look up :)

My promotional tool is a free DVD/CD dual disc, its a great way to promote Original Limu; because it tells about the product and about the business opportunity.


Everyone needs a business that's duplicable. You can't duplicate people but anyone can pass out a DVD, its simple. www.thelimucompany.com

Our company also has the dual disc DVD/CD's that we can give out. I like these as well as the magazines. (Our company was featured in Success From Home as well as Your Business At Home) so we use those as promotional tools. I also give out business cards, my website, email.

My favorite though is a toll-free number that has a presentation on it about our business opportunity as well as what we offer... it's free to give out and the best thing to use as a "First Exposure" - check it out for yourself and let me know what you think! 1-800-394-6919. It's a pre-recorded call that's available 24/7 so it's convenient.

Just my input on this post!

I like using samples with my business card attatched.  People love to get free stuff.  They seem to work best for me.
