PR Tip on Handmade/Original Items
Just happen to be the kind of crafty/creative person that likes to make homemade stuff for all your friends/cousins/neighbors? Ever wondered if it’s good enough to sell?
If you are like me, you’ve had a mind to launch your product for a while before actually putting it out into the market place. You want to make sure it will do well and that you aren’t just feeding your own ego by putting yourself out there, right? So you think about, you plan, you ask your spouse, your friends and you finally say to yourself “Go for it”. But launching a website and paying megabucks for the marketing can be a bit intimidating when you’re just starting out. Never fear, that’s where a good public relations agency can come in. A good one will give you all sorts of great tips and advice on how to launch on the cheap.
That doesn’t mean free, of course. But there are at least a zillion ways to get your name out there without spending one red cent on a TV commercial or billboard.
The first thing I want you to try is sending out a press release. There are two good places I recommend doing that for the best results. PRWeb has even put some on The View, Today Show, etc. for books they wrote.
The other thing I would urge you to do, especially if you make handmade and artsy orginal stuff is to put it up on etsy.com. This is the best place for starting out with those kinds of products. It will introduce you to a niche market where you can begin creating your online profile and show off your talents with just a few good digital photos. Let me know how it goes and when you are ready to grow even more. There are a ton of things to really help you out when you are ready to grow.
