10 Ways To Grow Your Barefoot Business

Shay Farnsworth shared some great tips for getting the word out about your Barefoot business.  Doing something to grow your business every day DOES add up and have impact!  Thanks Shay for these ideas!

Get your business moving forward. Here are some ideas to increase your sales and remember that sometimes you just “gotta do it!”

1) Place your business card (at eye level) inside the door of your bathroom stall at restaurants, grocery stores, Wal-Mart, or wherever the “urge” hits you. Vistaprint is a good source for business cards and they also have post-it notes you can use too!

2) Make it a goal to give out a certain number of business cards each day.

3) At restaurants leave a business card with your tip.

4) Everyone on your Christmas card list should know what you do! Be sure to enclose a business card in each envelope.

5) Doing donations? Always have several business cards in your basket.

6) When giving a card to a new contact, hand write a note on the back offering 20% off their first order and include an expiration date. Use the code TWENTY13.

7) Have a message on your phone and on your email address to let everyone know you sell Barefoot Books.

8) Offer friends and customers a free book if they get a friend to book a party or fundraiser with you.

9) Do you use the drive-thru at the bank? Leave a Best of Barefoot flyer and your business card in the clear plastic tube and press send.

10) Brand everything! Be sure to have all of your Barefoot information on any and all things Barefoot when you leave the house. You can also put bookplates in all the books that you personally sell with your info on the plate so when they are ready for a new book they know who to contact.
