I wasn't looking forward to today at all! It was my first day back at work. ICK! Spending my time like I wanted on vacation was a freedom that I long to have every single day! I have so much I want & need to do for my business, but have limited time to do so. I know working full time is stunting the growth of CGF, but right now I need the income from my full time job to pay the bills. In the mean time I do everything I possibly can to get publicity for Cherished Gifts & Favors.
This week I placed 28 ads in various places. I also tried to step up my efforts to get my name out there. This evening I met a photographer from a wedding message board that I belong to. As she said, networking is key. She is going to tell businesses that she works with about my website which is a huge blessing for me. She also happens to sale advertising for a magazine that markets to brides planning destination weddings. I'm toying with the idea of placing an ad in the fall edition of her magazine. I have to weigh the expense with the amount of sales I could possibly get. I just have a little bit of a hang up about it being a fall edition. It won't be out till Oct. 1 so I will have missed most of the fall weddings. However, I could get some sales from brides planning holiday & winter weddings. Hmmm... something I will have to give some more thought to.
Another thought I had about getting my name out there is to have a couple of nice tees printed up with my business name & website addy. I just have to think of something catchy for the tees to say. I could wear the tees on weekends while I'm out running errands. You never know who might see them, especially since I live in a tourist town. Got any suggestions for the tees, send them my way.
