Ideas for Sharing our Jerky Offline
First Steps
Go through this list of marketing methods and choose at least one or two to try in the
next week. Some are free, some cost money. All can be very beneficial to your
business.
Before you decide to move forward , make sure and contact support at Jerky Direct and have it cleared with them..
In the future my hopes are JD will be having this stuff available for us to purchase..
Labeling Your Jerky Bags
Make sure you are sticking a small info sticker with your contact info on it on the back
of all your bags of jerky so that your customer can easily locate your information for
placing reorders. This is also important to do
considering some customers purchase jerky from you to give as a gift, this way the
person who received the gift will also know how to contact you.
Business Cards
You can create your own or have someone do this for you.. You will have to think of a name for your business. Like mine is “Simple Jerky Snacks” I have had some created at vistaprint.com , they do a great job and the price is right..
Vehicle Signs
Have a magnetic sign made that you can place on your vehicle. Make sure you have your contact information and your website .. You may even want to purchase a easy to remember domain and have it forwarded to your JD url you are given when you joined.. Check locally or possibly Ebay for sources ..Have this ok’d with corp before you proceed .
Shirts
Possibly you have a local business where they can create a JD t shirt, or possibly make your own.. Have this ok’d with corp before you proceed .
Banners and Yard Signs
Signs made for placing in your yard.. an Banners made for advertising at events .. where available
I hope this has opened your mind to what you can do to get started selling jerky offline.. You probably have some ideas yourself ..
