I market with those I meet!
Ask for referrals and then call that person and say....

Then briefly explain your business and BOOK her!
It works GREAT!!!!

I currently advertise on other blogs and sell ad space on my own blog. I am currently looking for companies that can manage the go between for myself and industries but have not found much.

What do you mean by a go between?  ~~Joyce

My website is www.cafepress.com/kefiandcake selling tees and gifts

Thus far, I have advertised on CafeMom, MySpace, some sites that allowed free classifieds, email to anyone I know. I also had my parents put up flyers in two high traffic retail stores in Astoria Queens since much of my merchandise is Greek themed and there is a sizable Greek population there.
I'm planning on putting up flyers anywhere that would take them, like at our local Shoprite for example that has a huge bulletin board outside for advertising.
I'm planning on getting business cards to pass out and always have with me!

Hey Ladies, I just wanted to tell you about a website I found that is just awesome for anyone in any type of business.  I don't know if you have ever heard of Dani Johnson .  She is trully a remarkble woman, she has a free website:  www.danijohnson.com, that has all alot of free training courses on it.  I am new to the networking marketing business, but I have been listening to her free conference calls and oh my gosh is she good.  Anyways if you get the chance stop by her website and check it out, you won't be sorry:)

Take Care
Teresa

Hi All,

Well, like others, I talk to Everyone!  I carry samples with my business card stapled to them.  I also give out business card magnets; potential hostesses/hosts or clients are less likely to throw away a magnet.  This way, your business and name are right in front of them everytime they open the fridge!

I also market on free classified sites.  I found a website called webdecals; I ordered a reverse cling for the back inside window of my car to advertise my business.  I have actually had people tailgating me to read my ad!  I've had great success with this.

I go to as many events as possible, especially bridal shows.  I put my business cards out anywhere other businesses will allow me to.  I always carry brochures/info./ and hostess pkts.; you never know when and where you will find your next hostess or client.

I also do Spa Escapes for schools for teacher appreciation.  Boy, are these fun; especially when I have male teachers attend.
Contact church groups, moms groups, etc.  They are out there and you have to let them know you are here too.
