Make it Great

I know I am supposed to be cleaning…..this is way more important.

I know alot of us have trouble getting our products noticed and it seems as if all we do is spend money with few results. We have all been there at one time or another. But in the past few weeks I have learned some inexpensive tips that helped me get around.

Donate:

If you hear about an auction or raffle going on in your town or over the web. Donate a product to it. There was a lady who asked for a donation for a basket for her daughters fundraiser, I immediately replied. I am also going to send her a Thank You votive, because she didn’t have to even ask us WAHMs or wannabe WAHMs to donate. She could have bought everything from the store.

Sponsor:

Someone else asked for sponsors for a Virtual Party she was having, I donated a basket. Well, come to find out, the person who won my basket loves candles! I am also sending the virtual party coordinator a Thank You. When I told her I wanted to send her something, what did she say? She loves candles, but has never tried melts (tarts), she was excited!

Now don’t think I am just buying these candles and products all willy nilly, I am using the left over stock that is just sitting around on my desk, causing all kinds of clutter.

Thank You gifts: 

I also just recently got an eye exam, I got contacts and have to go back to Sams (my 2nd grocery store love) and pick up my prescription. When I go back I plan to give both the eye doctor (I am not spelling out the technical term, that would be embarrassing) and his trusty sidekick assistant, a votive as a, Thanks. The eye doctor is a man, but I saw a wedding ring so he seems to be married, I will  assume he’s married to a woman who loves candles.

If they throw my votive away, oh well. It was just sitting around anyway, but I hope it unlocks their inner candle burner and makes them run to my website with all their friends and buy candles galore! Oh, that is very possible….

I plan to give the management office of my apartment complex and gift basket with  a simmer pot and some melts for them to use. The office is full of women and women go in and out all day so I know, this will be a hit. It won’t be quite a “Thank You” because they really could do better maintenance wise and such, but that is beyond the point.

All this giving should cost me about $20, which is in my budget, shucks it is my budget! I will keep you updated on how well it goes! Who exactly the ”you” are that I will be updating is debatable, but “you” are none the less important to me.

Thanks for reading,
