I operate a small innovations home business call ZoneTech Innovations, where I create,design and develop new products for marketing. My latest brainstorm is call the " I Love You Flower Vase " a beautiful handmade vase that I started making in 2005. I have made over 400 of these vases and each one is decorated differently that I sell at arts & crafts shows, and on my website www.zonetechinnovations.com
I make good sells at shows, but website is three sells to the good, since started in 9/18/2006.
I advertise my business with a strong low budget promoting and marketing campaign with business cards,flyers,stickers and posting on any free website available.
So, what can I do to bring more sells to website ?

Sincerely, lapoetic.

I visited your website. Have you developed a business and marketing plan??
You said that you do well at craft shows so the product and idea is good. The price sounds right.
Maybe people have to see the Flower Vase to buy it.
You advertise your business with a strong low budget, with business cards, flyers,stickers and
posting on any free website available. What brings in the sales??
Having a website, It is always a question of how to get buyers to that site.
Maybe you can donate your product to a local cause and get the newspaper to write a story.
Good luck, LUCKIEST

Have you found any web site that are forums for arts and crafts hobbyist? Look for sites like these were folks are interested in those types of goods and of course there is E-bay. You could set up your own online store on E-bay to sell your goods auction style or direct.

Good luck!

Just an observation, I don't think the website does justice for the vases. Maybe you need to sell the sizzle more with sales copy describing each beautifully hand crafted vase and the value of how it will be appreciated by the receipant.
