My Sleeping Shar Pei ~ It's a Dogs Life

It's a Dog's Life

I had to capture this moment, I ran and grabbed my camera she looked so adorable. She inspired me to remember what Sundays are for! I’ve had a busy week and it's time to snuggle up with my favorite blanket watch a good movie with a cup of coffee while burning a butter cream vanilla candle! Take some time to unwind, get rejuvenated for the busy week ahead sounds like a good idea to me! So I say thank you to my dog Teegee for reminding me of this very important part of life!

I would love to hear your comments on what you do to relax and unwind after a busy week!

Coffee Mug Candles

2009-01-09T13:58:00.000-08:00

I Love making these coffee mug candles! They make such unique gifts, i think it's perfect gift giving for gestures of thanks! Give them to your son or daughters teachers during any Holiday or at the end of the school year. How about giving one to your best friend that loves coffee? What about giving one as a hostess gift when you get invited to a party and don't want to show up empty handed. How cute would these look burning on your kitchen counter when hosting desert and coffee? I usually make up to four of these at a time, i need to move quickly before the wax hardens. I make the tops to look like froth or whip cream and i sprinkle them with real cinnamon and embed two wax cinnamon sticks. They are very cute and smell delicious and I use soy wax! I offer two different scents, one in a cappuccino scent and one in a Hazelnut scent. To Purchase my best selling candle visit my online store. www.CandlesAtTheSoyBox.com

10 Ways To Advertise Your Craft Business Locally

2008-12-31T09:11:00.000-08:00

10 Ways To Advertise Your Craft Business Locally

These days with the Internet advertising frenzy, one of the most overlooked forms of advertising is to advertise your business locally. Some of your competitors may be advertising locally already. So don't let your business go unnoticed! In addition to the online advertising you are doing, tap into the local market as well.

1. Car Decal If you drive a vehicle, then you already have a great advertising tool that you can use to advertising your business locally. Not only will your website be seen by thousands of other drivers, web decals are quite cost effect at around fifty dollars on average.

2. Craft Shows If you participate in craft shows, place a stack of flyers in a few places on your tables and also hand them to customers when they pay for their purchases. You can also place them in their bag along with their purchases. Also consider having a mailing list sign up book where customers can add their contact information if they would like notification of upcoming shows you will be at, home shows or website news. To encourage them to sign up for your mailing list, offer a small sample or free item to each person that signs up.

3. Cars at local events At events such as craft shows the parking lots are generally full of cars of those customers. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gone back to my car to see a flyer placed on the windshield. Be sure and check with your local and state laws before placing flyers on cars at craft shows or other local events. In some states and counties it is not legal to do this.

4. Bulletin Boards Stores and shopping centers usually have bulletin boards and they are a great free way to advertising your website by placing a flyer on them. Keep a stack of flyers in your car to have them available when you go to the store.

5. Phone Book Don’t overlook the possibility of advertising in your local phone book. Be sure and have your ad placed under the proper section. Call your local phone book company to find out about ad sizes and rates.

6. Family and Friends We all know word of mouth is a powerful advertising tool. So use it! Consider asking family and friends to place flyers for you if they are participating in their own craft events such as craft shows or home shows. Or if they are having a yard sale, that is also a great place to place flyers into customers purchase bags.

7. Flyer Swap This is another great way to reach out to other customers by exchanging flyers with other craft businesses. What you will do is send the other business your flyers and they in return will send you theirs. Include the other businesses flyers in all outgoing packages, in customer bags at your craft show, etc., and they will do the same for you. If you are a member of a online craft forum, this can be a great place to seek out other online businesses that may be interested in doing a flyer swap with you.

8. Local Newspaper By running a classified or small text ad in your local paper can be a very cost effective way to reach your local market. Call the advertising department to find out the various ad sizes and rates.

9. Local Business Fair Consider setting up a booth at your local business fair. Business fairs usually bring a lot of traffic as most business fairs combine the business booths with entertainment, give-a-ways and food. Be sure and have flyers, small samples to give a way to those that stop by your booth, as well as a newsletter sign up book. You could also offer a coupon on your flyer that is good towards their first purchase from your website.

10. Network Check to see if your county has a crafters guild or similar membership group. Joining a local group or guild is a great way to network with other crafters. Not only will you likely make some great friends, participate in events, have the opportunity to network, but also have your name listed on their guild directory.
