Progress update 2-15-06

I spent the weekend reconstructing my website (had a little snafu!). We're back up and running well again. I continue to compile new addresses and send out 30 letters and about 60 emails a week to beading store across America. I did recieve an email back from an organization offering to sell me Ad space for a lot of investment. If I had that kind of money to invest in every newsletter that is published, I wouldn't be taking this grassroots approach.

Getting the word out

The end of January 2006. I started compiling bead store addresses all across the northeastern US. On February 3rd I started my form of a grassroots campiagn. I emailed as many stores as I could. I also mailed out 30 letters to stores I couldn't email. I am sending out 30 letters a week to different bead stores until I have contacted all the addresses I have acquired. Throughout the next 12 weeks I will be contacting as many appropriate stores as possible across the entire country. Trying to get the word out about MY BUTTON JEWELRY.
