Promote Gift Baskets at Community Events
Summer will be here before you know it and this is a good time to find out about community events that will be taking place in your neighborhood. Read about local businesses that worked together to create a very well attended Easter event in a small Denver community. According to the businesses owners who participated in the event, it was “a great opportunity to connect with local residents”.
One thing that struck me was that although the Easter event was sponsored by some of the larger businesses in the community, even home-based business owners were invited to participate and act as sponsors. What a great way to get the word out about your home-based business without incurring huge costs for advertising.
Visit your local bank or other prominent businesses in your community and speak to the owners/managers to find out what events might be planned in your community. If your community has a local home owners association group, this could be a resource for you.
Offer to create some gift baskets that can be given away as door prizes at the event. Ask other business owners to contribute products or store gift certificates for these baskets. Make sure that your business name is displayed prominently in these baskets. Your participation in these types of events can go a long way to promoting and growing your business.
