I have a question.....

[Live~Laugh~Love]

I make soft soled shoes, leg/arm warmers, things of that size, I was wondering...........

I need some packaging bags, so I can keep them in there and easily display them at the craft fairs and such. I was thinking of the bags like the Jack and lilly Soft soled shoes come in,

They need to be clear so you can see the items and the setail, but with a handle so they can hang... any advice on where and what to get>?

I have googles for weeks,
hard handled bags
plastic hanging bags

etc
etc


so ANY advice is great advice

Thank you sooo much

oh yeah
cheap and approx like 6X8 or something like that


HOPE to hear from you soon

TIA

Help me write this!

I need to "cold call" some local businesses to drum up some sales on my product. There are a TON of dog collars that need to vacate my space and I was thinking that I could contact different pet orientated businesses in my area. I have a HUGE list of names and numbers, I just don't know what to say! Help me out? I was thinking that I could send nice letters? Something that says "from one grassroots business mama to another" ?

what do we think?

I'm guessing that if you're nervous about cold calling, you might not like this option, but here's my suggestion-

Load up your inventory you need to move. Get in your car- and go sell in person to your local businesses. You mom and pop places will likely be more receptive to an in person visit from another local entrepreneur than the will a call out of the blue from god-knows-who.

When we had a retail store in a historic downtown, we'd often allow other small biz folks to consign their items, leave samples with biz cards, or purchase wholesale if we thought it fit our mix and would move well. We never once participated in any transactions with any of the thousands of sales calls we received.

Biz owners get calls all the time, frequently we see them as an interruption and or annoyance. But I'll bet if you take your charming self in to the shop with some of your pieces and a smile, you'll be glad you did.

This is more narrow than you specified.

Around a buck a piece.

That place has a slew of clear vinyl bags with handles, some zippered as well.
