How To Market At The Local Swap Meet

Post by Catspit Productions »

In this tutorial screenprinting video you’ll learn all about doing some local marketing around town at your local swap meets or flea markets. Here you’ll get to take a look at how I took Catspit Productions to the local swap meet to promote equipment and supplies sales. In order to market any new business you will not only need to promote yourself online but you’ll also need to do some real world marketing. Even YouTube suggests doing real world advertising for your YouTube channel. So for a local screen printing business some real world networking will always do the business good whether or not you make any sales immediately. As a startup screen printer you can use your friends and family along with your social network to start getting print work. But what about those of us who are not so well connected or maybe you want a way to pick up local business without breaking the bank? You’ll probably want to watch this video share where we show some inside activity at growing our own business locally offline.

LOL... it does get very hot but this swap had tarp covered lanes with metal "parking" type structures for the vendors to be under. Fully covered only on top. It has some good shade. But near the sides early or late is different.
