Help with marketing my Invitation Business
Oct 09th, 2009, 9:58pm
 
I make custom invitations and need help marketing my business.  I have a pretty steady stream of clients coming in through word-of-mouth but I'm trying to branch out to event planners.  I even came up with a cash back referral plan for event planners to get them to refer clients my way- but so far, no bites.  How do I get event planners to refer their clients to just take a look at my invitations. I know my products are awesome and every invitation I've done has netted me a new client.

Hi,
I think that you are on the right track by talking in the forums. I really believe that the key to bringing in new business is by putting your name out there and engaging with people in your market. Just keep your head up and be persistent!

Networking at industry events will be the best way for you to introduce your products to new planners.

Keep meeting new people and don't be shy about giving yourself a "plug". Offer to send them some free samples if they're really interested.

It will take time and persistence, but it will pay off.

Good luck!
