It’s an exciting time when you form a distributorship and start a small home business. Many distributors enjoy the wellness industry for because there are so many products and items to market to the general public. There is an increasing concern for health issues and the market for the wellness industry niche is quite vast. There is an incredible opportunity to make money with a home business in the wellness and health distributorship area on the Internet and offline.

One of the important aspects of promoting your distributorship is to let everyone know that you have products to distribute. For example, if you select to distribute fitness videos there are many ways to promote the videos to increase the potential customer base. If you were to sell fitness videos on the internet you can use Web auctions you can let others know of the link to the specific auction. If you have a Web store for your distributorship, you can let others know about the actual store link. This will increase the amount of people that know about the products to increase the potential for sales.

One very effective way of promoting your distributorship is through your email. You can email your friends and relatives the link to your products and ask them to take a look at them. Because wellness and health products typically sell themselves, you will more than likely make a sell from the basic emails asking them to visit and check out your new home business. The good news is that friends and relatives will then tell other people that they know about the products as well. These new contacts will spread the word and it snow balls into people buzzing about your new home business.

Another effective way of promoting your distributorship is to make up a small flyer with a few of your choice products to distribute. On the flyer, include contact information and the address for the Web store. You can promote your new small home business by placing flyers around your home town. Check with community centers, Laundromats, libraries, grocery stores and other local places and ask if you can place a flyer up at their location. People are naturally curious and percentage that sees the flyer will automatically come to your website out of curiosity.

Be a testimony for your products and services. Purchase and use several of your products. You can then tell people first hand how well the products and items worked for you. Your enthusiasm for the product will be contagious. You can even purchase items that you can put on display at a local flea market or vendor malls for visitors to sample or try. They can then each be handed your flyer that you are using for local places to take home with them. If you can afford it, you may want to have several of your most popular products in stock for people to immediately purchase. Many people use the flea markets and vendor malls for several weekends to create a buzz in the community about their products. This is an excellent way to promote your distributorship with very low overhead costs.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when holding a garage sale is not advertising enough. Most people think that it is enough to put a single ad in the local paper one week before the sale. Usually these people are too worried that they will lose money on their sale because the ad costs too much. That is nonsense.

When you don’t advertise much, you don’t get many customers. When you don’t get many customers, you have to sell at their price, because if you don’t, there is no other customer looking to buy that item. However, if you have a lot of customers looking at the same items, you can set the price and not need to haggle because you know that there is already another person wanting to pay for it. The more you advertise, the more customers you get, and the more you are in charge.

Most people don’t bother to use flyers very much anymore. Perhaps they think they are too busy to put them out, or that they won’t work. However flyers are not that difficult to use effectively. When done right they can bring tons of people into your sales. You just need to keep in mind that while places with bulletin boards set up for flyers and such get a lot of traffic they also get a lot of ‘flyer competition’.

This means that your garage sale flyer MUST STAND OUT and CATCH PEOPLE’S ATTENTION or it will simply be lost in a sea of paper! So, use bright paper, and a LARGE BOLD HEADLINE that gets attention by being different. Then let the rest of the flyer give the details of your sale. Let me say that a little differently: you need to use a headline that causes people to stop and read your flyer.

This does not mean you need to be wildly promotional or crazy with your headlines. But if there are 19 flyers on the board that say “Garage Sale on Saturday”, and your’s is the same, it just won’t be read. However if your flyer says something different it will attract more attention. So try something like the following instead:

- We’ve Got What You Need for your garden at 90% off new prices
- Huge Discounts On all Home Products this Saturday

Then all you need to do is print them up and put them in your car and ask if you can post one at every store you visit during your weeks chores. No extra work is involved at all. Take these ideas and run with them and your next garage sale will be on its way to a resounding success.

If you have an eBay store, then you can print off promotional flyers for it for free. You might have seen ones that other sellers have sent you ? they’re basically lists of items available in their eBay stores, usually bearing this default message: “Thank you for your purchase! Please visit my eBay Store for more great items and friendly, reliable customer service.” If you know what you’re doing, though, you can really make your flyer stand out from the crowd.
