Thanks Kathy and Christina.  Kathy, you are so right about the wealth of information on this site - it`s been so useful and a tremendous help for me. 

Can I pose questions to the forum?  When you first started your business and had your product ready for market, how did you first try to sell it?  Did you book space at a trade show?  Run radio or newspaper ads?  If so, how successful was it for you and was it worth it?  Would you do something different if you had to do it all over again?

Hi Jan,

Always feel free to pose questions to the forum. Ususally if one person dosen`t know then someone else does.

Not sure if you were asking me about how we started to sell our product but I will be more than happy to share. After alot of prototypes we first started selling it on eBay to see if their was a maket for them. Sales were pretty good and with the help of PSP(Paint Shop Pro) we were able to get some great pics and make our ads better. As we grew we started a web flyer which evolved into a website.
We have been on a shoestring budget and never did radio or newspaper ads. All the work is paying off and we are starting to see steady orders.

Despite everything we would do it all over again. It is worth it!!!

Thanks Kathy, for the feedback.  I appreciate it. 

I`m curious how others began selling their product, too.  What worked, what didn`t?
