Here are some inexpensive ways to get the word out, about your bakery:
Website for Dog Bakeries
Oh—you've decided to use another business model. You are NOT an online business. Well, in this day and age, everyone needs to have a website! Even if you don't intend to sell your products online. People are becoming more and more tuned in to online commerce. And even though retail stores have seen dramatic decreases in sales, the online sales have risen. People like and USE the internet! In fact, the yellow pages of your phone book are becoming obsolete. People just don't use them much anymore. So don't waste your money on expensive phone book ads. Here's an example of a work at home mom who has a website.
Did you know that the old standby, the phone book, is almost becoming obsolete? People just aren't using the yellow pages like they used to. They just go online and search for what they are looking for—it's so much easier. You need to have a website so that your customers can find you!
Classifieds and Free Ads
Home Business Marketing
Some communities still have a publication that offers free or low cost ads to people just selling things out of their garage. These free papers used to be called something like "The Thrifty Nickel". Sometimes a small local paper will allow a small business to advertise inexpensively. Daily or Sunday newspapers also have classifieds. These classifieds tend to be expensive, and the amounts can add up pretty quickly. You may be able to go together with another business (or a group of other small businesses) and put an insert into the local newspaper. For this type of home business marketing, you can expect to pay for the number of inserts delivered. This could be cost effective, depending on your area, your business and if you can split the cost with someone else.
Signage for your Dog Bakery
If you have a store front or live on a busy road, make sure you have a sign that tells people about your business. Repetition sells. Your potential customers will pass your sign over and over. And repetition sells. Studies have shown that home business marketing with repetition does pay off. The average sale is made--the 8th or 9th time that a customer sees your advertising. If they are interested, one day they will stop to investigate!
Home business marketing for your dog bakery can be fairly simple. But, make no mistake, it is necessary. Word of mouth is wonderful, but it can take years for the grapevine to develop. Start using Home Business Marketing to build interest (in your pet business) in your community--even before you open the doors to your new business!
