Hello All,
I am considering becoming a Country Bunny soon! (Thanks to Andi & her wonderful help)! I was curious as to what everyone did to advertise their business. There are NO bunnies in my area & none in the surrounding areas either so I want to make sure I extend an invite to eveyone I can. Also, I've talked to quite a few people about CBBB & it seems that no one has even heard of their products! Actually, I hadn't either until I visited the WAHM site! So, when I advertise I need to make sure that people know exactly what we have to offer them! Any ideas would be wonderful! Thanks so much!

Hey Jeanie,
If you do sign up with country bunny, you will get access to our
Document Library which has all kinds of great fliers you can use to
post around town.
Also, I would reccommend having a business debut open house
event. Invite everyone you know to come and hopefully you will
get some bookings from that and then will start meeting pple in the
community who haven't heard of CB.
I'm similar to you---I am just the 3rd rep in my town and most people have never heard of it!
Your sponsor should be able to help you think of more ideas and give you fliers/pointers.
Good luck!

CBTAMMY,
Thanks for the tips! I'm sure Andi & CBBB willhave plenty ofideas as well butI was just curious how other people were doing theirs. I was curious if anyone came up witha unique and fun way of advertising. Just looking for something different! I know I've started this a little early but I figure the sooner I get to know CBBB then the better off I'll be! Anymore ideas, shoot them my way! Thanks Again CBTAMMY!

Welcome to the CBBB family. I would have to say that the best way to advertise your business is to get out there and talk about it. I moved to Ohio in July 2004 and did not get really active with CBBB until October. In the mean time I was talking about it and sharing with everyone. I just had to wait to get in to my home before I could really work and do shows.
I know that this may sound silly. However, CBBB was not new to Ohio, but it was new to my area of Ohio. I was able to share with so many. I had the honor of being named Queen of Sponsoring at Bunnyvention 2005. I am not saying this to brag, but to say that you can do it with the best resource you have, and it is free, and be successful. That resource is your mouth and it is free.
Best of luck to you in your new business.

Find well marketed events to be a part of. For example a vendor/craft show put together by a non profit such as a human services agency, or cancer society, etc. Organize your own vendor blender with other moms in DS in your area. Contact your local hospital and see if you can provide mommy packs to new moms. Check out your Chamber of Commerce, usually online they list events coming up...they most always are looking for product donations or vendors for their events. Besides that, join your COC as well--its a great networking opp.
And all I can say is Network network network!
