Ok, I am having a rummage sale this weekend and was thinking of putting some infor out on my table about my Pampered Chef business to possibly getting bookings or orders. Has anyone done this and if so what did you put out? Thanks!! I figured business cards and maybe the coming months specials!!
 
Yard salesI did this at a yard sale once and got a nice response from neighbors. I did this like a few weeks after I moved into my new home, so everyone was new and very friendly.
I would suggest that you put an older catalog into each bag with each purchase and of course give a current one to those who ask. Make sure to have business cards, monthly specials and your calendar.

Debbie :D
 
Here's what I did for our community yard sale. It's so specific to me, but may give you some ideas. Hope it helps

Thanks all!!
 
Not to hijack a thread...but this is my newsletter. I'm going to start using constant contact next month since my email list is too long to send everything in one day. So it should look a lot more "structured."

Yes -- my background is marketing and I tend to lean towards more branding and expert positioning rather than a sales approach ( I am passive agressive so it suits my style.)

Enjoy!
