Part 3 of 3: Looking for new inexpensive ways to promote your shop and take your products direct to new customers?

Introduce opportunities for joint promotions with fellow traders, evening events, promotional discount weekends anything that would draw people into your town?  A late night shopping night once a month for the town centre maybe, especially if you are on the commuter route from the station.  Could you and a complimentary trader offer something together e.g. a fashion or beauty evening?  Don’t forget to research local events and business networking evenings as these often offer the opportunity to get up and promote your knowledge, products and  expertise  with other potential customers. 

Lastly of course we have Websites and Ebay & Amazon, these will be instrumental in widening your customer account base and Ebay & Amazon offer you an opportunity of selling on line without the cost of your own site, how much easier can it get?
