Branching Out

My mom has been doing well since she began selling her looseleaf tea on Etsy in March. I think she has had almost 160 orders since the end of March. That’s awesome! It really opened her company up to a brand new buyer group and she is gaining a lot of regulars now. She recently emailed me about the idea of ordering custom magnets – possibly car magnets – to help advertise her business. I think it’s a great idea. If the cost was reasonable I could see her putting those in her shipments as little freebies for her customers to put on their cars. What amazing publicity that would be!!

She is also looking for a new packaging company for her scone mixes, and is completely redoing the labels she uses on those boxes now that she will be using a new packaging company. She has asked me to redo those labels to give to the printer.

As you know, I’m a big proponent of VistaPrint. I’ve been using them for over a year with my business and have never had a problem with them. I know they’d probably have a good deal on the magnets since they are always offering specials and discounts to regular customers.
