The Sewing Mom

We did it! We’ve reserved our booth in Knoxville, Tennessee for our first craft sale! We’re all very excited and now we have to make sure we have everything we need for our sale.

My sisters and I are busy sewing, making purses, totes and bags to sell. My niece has been crafting painted fabric wall hangings and my mom is making a variety of items. We should have a full booth and will hopefully sell it all!

In addition to what we are selling, we also have to promote ourselves. The goal is to not only sell at the craft sale, but to have sales continue through words of mouth. I sell things on this site and my sister and I have been working on both opening up online stores. To let people know where to find us, I recently ordered business cards from VistaPrint.com that I will insert into every bag I sell. I also have labels sewn directly into everything I create. I always want to ensure that the buyer remembers that they got their bag from The Sewing Mom!

In addition to the business cards, there are other promotional items that I’m considering including magnets and ink pens that can be personalized. I just want people to like what they buy from me and to help them remember me when they want to purchase again.

What type of promotional items do you use for your business?
