In order to let people know about your newly-started home business, you need to promote. Promotion is not always spending a lot of dollars. Catalogs, as one option of promoting your business, can be cheap as well. The right method of distributing your catalog can gain your business fame. These are how to maximize the usage of your business catalog:

1. Give them away

This is the most famous way of distributing your catalog: give them away by hand. You can hire someone to just distribute your cheap catalogs at a busy place where lots of people pass by. It can be anywhere from the road in front of your shop to a central place at the mall. Or if you want to cover bigger area, you can catch a bus and travel somewhere else around.

2. Distribute them to mailboxes

On your way handing the catalog away, you can also distribute them in mailboxes. You do not have to pay postage though. For a cheaper way, you can just hand deliver your catalogs to people’s mailboxes by hand. This may take some energy but the result may worth it.

3. Leave them in car windshields

You can also slid your catalogs into people’s car windshields. Doing this always assures that your catalogs will be read. Nobody drives with a paper slid in their windshield.

4. Leave them at your counter

It would be ridiculous if you spread your catalog away but not keep it in your own store. Customers who come to your store are a potential loyal buyer, provide them latest info of your product so that they know when to come back again and do the shopping.

5. Include them with your carry bags

If you have already put catalogs close to the cashier and still no one grab it, grab it for your customer. Kindly tell them that you are going to put it in their carry bags. Make sure to say something before you put it inside. Don’t be rude. Appreciate your customers.

These tips I gave you is just some of many method you can use to promote your home based business. Apply not only one method to promote your business. The more people know about your business, the more potential customer you will have.
