Jennifer, I think that's a great idea.
I posted here about doing a Yukon LC Christmas party. You could feature your products and I bet you would get lots of orders.
I just bought a food dehyrator from a woman that sells them out of her home. Most of her business is word of mouth. She also advertizes in the personals.
I sometimes advertize my business in the professional column of the Yukon News. It's $15 per week. Check it out, if that's not your cup of tea, you could advertize once per week, say Friday in another part of the paper.
I think it would make great sense for you to have a web site. I did my own and feature all my business services on it. That way, when I hand out a business card, a potential client can check my site to see what I'm all about. I have a signature on my email as well that says who I am and what I do.
If you want some tips on how to do your own website, I think you have my private email address, feel free to email me. There's a link on there to my web site so you can see what I did with it. You could go so far as to give customers the option of ordering and paying online with Paypal. Do you have a digital camera? Pictures of your products would be great.
You could get clients by doing a monthly newsletter and starting a mailing list....I do this and built a client base that way.
Ok, I'll stop now, I'm sure you get what I'm saying about the marketing...
