Next step for us?

Hi,
I started a small business in November with a partner selling gift baskets with quality French foods, cuisine and pate. We were slightly late setting up for the Xmas markets but managed to get a couple of reasonable pitches and did quite well with them. We have a website and Facebook page up and running. We are not sure how best to market ourselves post-Xmas as the product we have was ideally suited for the Xmas gift market. Would really welcome any ideas or advice.

Are you using or accepting card payments? Do you have any examples of the food you are selling?

Hi,
Yes we take card payments on the stall. We do offer some examples to taste ( was that what you meant?)

No i meant what are the actual types of food you offer. For example if you sell bread then a good way to branch out is by dealing with local bakeries/cafes and offer them your bread, it is a good tool to work with small businesses in the area and get your product out to the public.

Our products are all in tins or in jars and have a long shelf life. The products are all packaged into gift baskets that we have made up.

My friend, I suggest you to please consider advertising on FB as well but keep in mind that you need to use right filters for choosing your audience.
