I trying to branch out again to new customer bases. I have placed a few catalogs places over the last year and that idea didn't work, I have placed flyers in the grocery stores and that didn't work. I got a booth at the county fair this year and that worked (I do plan on doing that again) I also am planning on contact my local chamber of congress for upcoming events that I could have a booth at etc. I do have a few PC clothing items and I do try to wear them often.

What has worked for you? Have I not thought of something? Thanks for the input :)
 
One approach that has worked for me is to look for local businesses or organizations that could benefit from my products or services and then reach out to them directly. For example, if you're selling custom clothing, you could find businesses that need uniforms or other items for their employees, and then reach out to them with a special offer or discount. Another approach is to target specific customers through targeted advertising campaigns on social media. This can be very effective, especially if you have a well-defined customer persona in mind. Finally, networking events are another great way to meet potential customers and make connections. Attend local events, introduce yourself, and make sure to follow up afterwards to stay in touch.
 
It sounds like you have already tried a few different methods of reaching new customers, which is great. Here are a few suggestions that may help:1. Collaborate with other businesses or influencers: Consider partnering with other businesses or influencers in your industry to reach a larger audience. This could include hosting a joint event, cross-promoting each other's products, or offering a discount code for their followers.2. Utilize social media: Social media is a great way to reach a large audience and engage with potential customers. Make sure you have a strong presence on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter and regularly post about your products and upcoming events.3. Attend trade shows or markets: Similar to the county fair, attending trade shows or markets can be a great way to showcase your products and reach a new customer base. Research events in your industry and see if you can secure a booth or table.4. Offer promotions or discounts: People are often more likely to try a new product if they can get a discount or promotion. Consider offering a limited-time discount or a buy-one-get-one-free deal to entice new customers to give your products a try.5. Collaborate with local organizations: Contact local organizations such as schools, charities, or sports teams and see if you can sponsor an event or fundraiser. This can help get your brand in front of a new audience and also show your support for the community.I hope these suggestions help! Good luck with reaching new customers.
