Instructions
1. Set a price for all the bags, and put the price on each bag. Shoppers get annoyed when they have to ask the price of each item.
2. Give your items a reasonable price. If it's too high, no one will buy the merchandise.
3. Make a sign telling the customer they will get a lower price on the second bag. Many people are more likely to buy a second item if they get a discount.
4. Make or purchase the bags in different sizes. You need to have small, medium, large, and gigantic bags. People like to have different sizes that match. If you have several sizes, it is easier to convince someone they need to buy a second bag.
5. Plan a party. If you know a lot of people, have a tote bag party. Set up a table with cute displays. Use the stuffed animals to draw attention to the bags.
6. Find appropriate venues to sell your bags. Check online for wildlife expositions, animal rights meetings, PETA events and humane society events that are going on near your home. Check with the person in charge to see if you can set up a booth selling your tote bags. Sometimes they will charge a fee, or ask for a donation.
7. Get a booth at a craft show, and sell your tote bags. Make the booth stand out. Place several clear signs telling the prices. Place a tray of business cards on the table, and encourage people to take one. Make sure you drop a card inside each tote bag, so people will know who to call to order more.
8. Check online for local farmer's markets in your area. Many of the farmer's markets are free, and they will allow you to sell items you make or buy.
9. Go to small stores in your area, and try to sell the bags at a wholesale price to the owner. Many smaller stores have problems finding unique items, and they will give you a chance. Most of the time they will want to get the items on commission. They will sell them in their store. When the items sell, you get a percentage, and they get a percentage. It works pretty well, but check on the items in the store regularly. Some of the store owners are slow in paying when your items have sold. Make an agreement with the owner in writing showing how many items you brought to the store, the amount of money you get from the items and how often you get paid---weekly, monthly or yearly.
10. Take pictures of your tote bags, and sell the bags online. You can sell through Ebay, Etsy, or any other online sales venue. You can even make your own online store. Get creative, and you will be able to sell a lot of tote bags.
11. Get a booth at your state fair. It costs several hundred dollars for a booth, but thousands of people come through each day. If you get their attention, you can sell thousands of tote bags.
