Sponsored home shows are not only profitable but fun. This is a way to market that always reminds me of my mother's Tupperware parties. You invite friends and family members into your home and sell your crafts. You encourage one or two of these people to sponsor a gift show in their homes for some free merchandise. This is a great way to market your crafts.
Word of mouth is the best advertising there is.
Home shows are most effective around the holidays. Mail order catalog. For a lot of people this is a frightening prospect but with today's technology it should no longer be feared. Almost everyone today owns a computer and if you do not, chances are you know someone who does. Most libraries now have computers you can use and some print and copy shops such as Kinko's will let you use their computers for a small fee.
