Default Re: Can't seem to sell... someone help me please

I have had a website for two years now, and it just takes time to move up the search engine lists. Some tricks I still implement today are passing a biz card to the teller at the bank and using other branches to spread out the word. All of my email accts have links to the website. Advertise in your church bulletin or school newsletter. Most importantly hit the pavement with your bows and go into specialty stores and consignment stores and offer to sell them wholesale @50% off retail or consign for a 60/40 split. As far as the website goes, it has to be user friendly and have a shopping cart. I use merchant moms and it is much cheaper than many I have used in the past. People are less likely to buy from someone who is not set up professionally and appears to be on the up & up! Identity theft is a major concern these days. Using Paypal and CC have some safe guards that you as an individual can not guarantee. Please note that I am not making any unfriendly accussations here, just stating my concerns as a consumer! Hope you continue to make bows and your business grows by leaps & bounds! It happened to me!!
