Promotion is as easy as "Hi, my name is."
A good promoter envites customers/people into their world. Not your mom, cuzn, friend of ten years...those are "shoe-ins", but a stranger.
The best is a customer/person that you don't know.....u just feel the energy and thats all you have to go on. A promoter has to be fearless and courteous at the same time. It may be a eigthy year old man, but if the vibe is there go with it...a sell may come from it. Don't discriminate. Let the customer/person make the decision.
Remember promotion is all about being willing to say hi. Anybody can put up a poster, place post on myspace...the question is are you willing to say hi and present your product to a complete stranger. That's promoting.
Trust your instinct and remeber you have the best product in the world. Your doing this person a favor by introducing them to your gift(s)/product.
"Some will, Some won't, So what, NEXT!!!!!"
