What is a good way to get my name/product out there?
Question by Jeremydotcom: What is a good way to get my name/product out there?
I make custom wine racks, end tables, coffee tables, and other items along those lines out of metal, wrought iron, on the side as a hobby, id like to make more and sell them. hopefully make a business out of it. the only thing i have going on right now is word of mouth. i was wondering what are some cheap (cost effective) was of selling the products? and ways of finding the people who would want something more “custom”? ebay? craigslist? or should i look into making my own website? im a fabricator, not really a marketing guy. so i guess im asking for input on how to get customers?

I recommend using social media such as Twitter, which is huge right now, Facebook, MySpace etc. You can create a business profile with pictures of your products. Then using the search capabilities on those sites you can find people who are interested in that type of thing. Strike up a conversation via email or chat to find out how interested they are.
And even if you don’t actively search out those people at least you have a place with your product out on the web. When people search for things they may just find you that way.
The best thing about using social media is that you can set up your profiles and use them for free.
Have a great day and an even better tomorrow.
