It doesn’t matter what type of business you have, you need to keep finding new clients if you want to stay in business. As someone in the scrapbooking industry, you have an advantage over other business owners. Why?
Because most people love and cherish their photos. You are offering a service that people not only need and want, you offer a service that people treasure! Not only is scrapbooking a way to preserve memories and create family heirlooms, it’s also a fun and relaxing hobby.
Finding new clients for your scrapbooking business does not have to be difficult. If you think outside the box and get creative, finding new clients can be a fun part of your business.
It is important to start with a positive attitude. If you have a positive attitude, you will feel more confident in yourself and your business abilities, which will become obvious when speaking to new clients.
Here are a few ideas:
• Craft Fairs-You can find craft fairs in your local area by reading the local paper, visiting the websites of local television and radio stations, and keeping an eye out for signs and posters on area bulletin boards. Craft fairs are an excellent source for finding customers because they are already looking for what you have to offer.
• Partner-Partnering up with other professionals is a great way to market your work. Find a complimentary, yet not competing, business to offer cross promotions with.
• Home Parties-Scrapbook consultants who sell scrapbook product for big companies are not the only ones who can take advantage of the home party. The party plan method has been around for so many decades because it works!
• Girls Night Out/Retreats-By offering a girls night out, you are opening your business to a whole new market.
• Networking- it is one of the best ways to meet new people and establish yourself in your field.
• Teaching classes-Whether you teach a class at a local scrapbook store, community college, networking group or some other place, teaching is a great way to get your name and business out there.
• Always have business cards or some promotional item on you at all times. You never know when your business will come up in conversation.
• Let your vehicle promote your business for you. Whether you invest in a vehicle magnet or decals, any where you go you will be reaching potential clients.
• Promote yourself online. By having an online presence you are displaying your work online and giving your potential clients the vision of your work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The internet opens up a world-wide market and why can’t you have a customer on the other side of the world? If they want what you have, they will gladly pay for it and the shipping too.
Above are just a few ideas to get you thinking outside the box. Be persistent, do something each day for your business and you will have plenty of clients.
