Holiday time is right around the corner - make sure you are keeping up with the scattered holiday events in your area. Churches and other fellowship organizations are great places that host holiday sales and bazaars. Keep these tips in mind:
- If it's advertised as a "craft fair" it's still worth taking a peek to see if they would allow a Barefoot Books vendor. The books are special and different. Also some organizers will allow you to attend if you provide a craft or activity sheets for the little guests. (Pssst - Busy little ones = more parent shopping time!)
- Think about hosting an online fundraiser, which will only help expand your business and contacts. Donate a portion of your commission to the organization that you feel passionately about. Online fundraisers are seldom much work
- Look to hospitals, large hotels that host various events, assisted living facilities, dance studios, yoga studios and other venues that target your desired audience. These books and products have a wide appeal to people of all ages. Don't loose sight of that!
- Balance - be sure to maintain a balance during the busy holiday season....don't sign up for every event you see, you'll only end up exhausted and too busy for yourself.
Read - share and enjoy this special time of year!
