How do I sell my line of homemade catnip toys?

pami_gram: How do I sell my line of homemade catnip toys?
I want to sell wholesale and retail, but don’t know how to market the catnip toys I make. The catnip is homegrown and I make every toy myself. I’m not good at selling my own things, so I need pointers on the best way to approach businesses and cat lovers.

Well first you need to find out who your market is. Do you want to sell online, or do you want to sell in stores?

Regardless of what you choose, you also need a website that you can use to promote your product.

If you’re going to be trying to sell to stores, make up professional flyers and start sending them out to potential clients, and then follow up a few days later to find out if they got it and if they would be interested.

If you plan selling strictly on the internet, try to find reputable cat websites and contact them to see if you can advertise on their sites.

So the key is marketing, marketing, marketing. Without it you can’t ever bring in the customers, because they won’t know who you are!

So just keep at it and don’t give up.

Good luck!

I would contact independent pet supply stores (the large chains probably prohibit such things) and veterinary offices. Ask them if you can display your products at their location.

Create a website for selling on line and start an eBay business. Those three outlets should get you off to a good start.
