Business To Business Marketing Ideas

Looking to start a scrapbooking business, part time and looking for marketing ideas?

Looking to start a small business through friends and family at first, but then eventually looking to get bigger, any marketing ideas for people other than family and friends? Also what should I be charging? I’ve heard different things, should I charging per hour or per page? If so what are the going rates? Any help would be great!

i agree that you should check out your competition & you can do that easily online by looking up scrapper for hire websites…however, i disagree with starting cheap and then raising your rates, i think you’ll lose clientele that way…just be reasonable, charge according to what you think it is worth and don’t forget about the **time you put into the project**, the materials are easy to add up, but also think about all the effort it takes as well! if you start your business “officially” and get a Federal Tax ID#, you will find some great wholesale pricing on some ‘name brand’ websites for product (they usually require an Fed Tax ID)…as far as marketing…there are so many avenues:
~1~ LSS local scrapbook (or craft) stores
~2~ flyers, postcards, business cards, greeting cards
~3~ daycares, schools, community rec center, local learning center
~4~chamber of commerce, women to women business groups
~5~ online…blog, website, chat rooms
~6~ booth @ craft fair, baby fair, bridal fair
these are just some ideas, i have also considered going into business for myself with scrapbooking and one thing that was suggested to me was to solicit local businesses to do their Christmas Greeting Cards; make a portfolio of 5-10 for them to choose from priced @ $3 each (w/envelope) or a discount for a certain quantity…
good luck and i hope it works out for you…
