Hi Jess, Thank you for this! I enjoyed watching, and appreciate the information! I’m Carolyn Grace and I have a popular, made-by-me, San Diego, CA -based greeting card brand - The Card Jungle. I started about 9 months ago and have my cards in several dozen stores around coastal San Diego and I just started doing a few markets. I’m grateful and feel fortunate to be able to say that The Card Jungle is consistently expanding! It’s a lot of work but I ♥️ what I’m doing! 🌴☀️🌴 Thanks again! 🙌

Hey Jess! Great ideas in this video! I’m definitely going to make sure I utilize idea pins more often. But where I get confused is when I’m asked what board I want to pin it to. I get lost there!! Thank you!! Tina 🌷💗🌷

Hi Tina, You can create both public & private boards within pinterest. I'd stick to private for the pins you save for yourself & create a public one for the pins you make, ideally using a keyword associated with your product in the title - hope this helps.

Great video. Do you have experience with Faire?

[@JessVanDen]

Not personally, no.

Just a heads up for your US viewers, putting flyers in a mailbox is illegal here. The only ones allowed to put anything in a mailbox is a postal worker. Not everyone is aware of that. You can’t hang them on the mailbox either. If it’s reported it’s a hearty fine.

Thanks for letting us know!

It's illegal to put stuff in other people's mailboxes in the US

I tried to sign up for Instagram about a week ago and got as far as a Facebook link and couldn't get past it. the next day my FB account was hacked!! so I'm staying away from Instagram until I find someone to help me. local marketing in my small town is not really an option. Pinterest ideas I will check this out but I'm not very savvy on Pinterest.
