started a business

Hello, This sounds like a very nice business. To promote your gift baskets or flower arrangements, I would suggest going to local businesses (corporations) and giving them free baskets with your information & business cards attached. This is a great means because business people love free snacks and food to munch on and if they like the product and you leave cards, they will most likely use you in the future for personal gifts, etc. Also, do you have a website? You could make professional postcards, flyers, etc., and promote within the community or local businesses. I would definately say stay away from SPAM as it is less credible anyhow. You could join meetup - they have lots of groups such as entrepreneurs, or business people, and then network with them to get the word out. But definately order business cards and start passing those around to friends, family, and people you come in contact with! Hope this helps. Check out my site listed in my profile for more marketing ideas - that is what I have my degree in and have worked in that field for about two years.

Congratulations on your new business. All businesses need promotion and I am glad you realize that junk mail is not appreciated by people. I am sure you will find the best promotion is your product and the services you provide. Your enthusiasm and your passion for your business will also go a long way in making people appreciate your business more.
