What GREAT ideas! I really need help with my marketing and I just love these. It is so funny b/c I make a “gardener’s gift pot” with my handmade gardener soap and shea butter stick and I include a packet of seeds and a pair of gloves and everything is packed into a flower pot. Anyway, the custom seeds would be PERFECT for these gift pots! And I really love the totes! Who knew you could find some totes so affordable?! Anyway, Rachel if you have more ideas I would love to hear!

Great post and it IS so important to get your name out there in any way you can. Promo items are a great inexpensive way to do that. You want to be sure to match your promo to your best sale of venue. Say, if you only do online sales, something that they could leave or use at the computer. Or if you only do markets, maybe the magnet or re-usabel or durable bags with your info on it.

There are TONS of ideas. If you ever need promos let me know, my sister has done them for years and is EXTREMELY good at what she does.

There is NO end to what you can get!

I love your input – so NEVER blush about it! Thanks for more great ideas Sade! and for the warning about shipping seeds overseas.

I feel like I’m commenting a lot here lately blush.

With sending seeds, you have to be careful with customs, some countries won’t allow the entrance of foreign species, at all! So be cautious where to you send those seeds.

I like the tote bag idea, I use them to carry around stuff, and sometimes to stuff in my purse if I have to run a couple of errands and don’t want to get bags at the shops. You can also hand stamp them: get a good rubber stamp, and fabric paint. Apply a thin layer of paint on your stamp, stamp on the tote, let dry, iron to set. Voila! And no two totes will be the same. I have to try this with my stamps one day.

I would have never thought of the pinhole camera. I might have to try that at home.

I think I would send pagemarkers for books. I never have enough, because they get worn and icky with so much use! But that is me
